Dr Nick Priest

Nick’s research focuses on combining demographic studies of fruit flies with a range of mathematical approaches to understand links between nutrition, gut microbe growth, immunity and ageing. Most of the work involves understanding how ecological processes generate heterogeneity and reveal individual quality.
