About Us

The McMullan lab is based in the School of Life, Health and Chemical Sciences at The Open University in Milton Keynes, UK. 
We use the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a genetic model to understand how animals respond to changes in their environment.
If you are interested in joining the group as a PhD student or postdoc please get in touch via email or the contacts page.
We are also happy to discuss hosting undergraduate summer studentships, please get in touch to discuss this further.
