Digital Characterisation of the Building Stock
The Building Stock Lab (BSL) at UCL Energy Institute has been developing a new kind of 3D model of the UK building stock. The model's purpose is to assess energy use in buildi...
Covid in Cartoons: Empowering a thick narrative of the crisis by promoting cultural literacy and diversity skills amongst vulnerable young people
Covid19 poses specific challenges for young people from vulnerable or minority groups, who may feel particularly disempowered by the pandemic (Wilton 2020). In order to restore the...
Computational Discovery of New Spectrally Selective Materials for Thin Film Applications
Transparent thin films with the ability to reduce the intensity or completely block out specific wavelengths of solar radiation whilst maintaining transparency towards visible ligh...
Establishment of novel macrophage cell lines to study the pathogenesis of respiratory bacterial pathogens in lung alveolar macrophages
Macrophages are important immune cells in the first line of defence against infectious pathogens.To understand macrophage-bacteria interactions mice are frequently used. Macrophage...
Drivers and Repercussions of UK Insect Declines (DRUID)
Due to their vast numbers and diversity, insects dominate natural ecosystems and processes. Wholesale insect declines could have profound consequences. Yet despite growing public c...
Systemic environmental risk analysis for threats to UK recovery from COVID-19
UK Recovery from COVID-19 needs to balance the needs of the economy, societal cohesion and health.The Environment is not currently explicit in some framings of national recovery, y...

Amino acid availability acts as a critical environmental rheostat of mucosal ILC2 responses
Our intestines are continually exposed to a wide range of stimuli from the environment in the form of bacteria - both beneficial and harmful - and metabolically active molecules re...
The Genomic basis of Unexplained Cardiac Arrest: The GenUCA Investigators (joint funding with DZHK and DHF)
Unexplained cardiac arrest (UCA) accounts for 5-7% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.There are three sub-phenotypes currently recognised: Early Repolarisation Syndrome; Short-Coup...
Essential experiences in science: addressing the gap in primary enquiry-based practical science created by lockdown and aiding school recovery.
Focusing on gaps in practical science that have arisen in primary school education, we will design, refine and disseminate strategies to enable UK schools and organisations to incr...
Discovering inhibitors of gain-of-function Phospholipase C gamma1 for T-cell lymphomas
This proposal is aimed at creating medicines that can control a protein called Phospholipase Cgamma1, for use in the treatment of a subtype of blood cancers, known as T-cell lympho...
Modelling and Experimental Study of Lithium Sulfur Batteries
The first year of my PhD involved experimental work on lithium sulfur coin cells, focusing on synthesising the cathode material.From the second year onwards, the work has focused o...
Evaluations of Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Properties of Antibiotics Teixobactin
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a threat to global health, leading to an increase in mortality and morbidity rate. The ability for Gram-positive bacteria to form communit...
Fertility of subduction and post subduction magmatism associated with porphyry- and epithermal-Cu-Au mineralisation in the Aegean using zircon geochro
The UK has passed legislation to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This will require new geological resources to underpin non fossil fuel transport and energy genera...
Treating hepatitis C in Pakistan. Strategies to avoid resistance to antiviral drugs
Hepatitis C infection can be cured by affordable drugs, leading to calls to expand treatment among the 70 million infected people worldwide. Many countries have initiated ‘test and...
Deciphering the function of intrinsically disordered protein regions in a cellular context
Proteins carry out the chemical reactions necessary for life, and are used as building blocks to assemble key components of cells, giving them shape and structural integrity. Durin...
SCAMP Wave 2
Mental illness commonly emerges during adolescence, but the reasons for this are not well understood. Adolescence is a period of great change in family, school, and peer relationsh...
Identifying binding partners, biological substrates and antisense oligonucleotides regulating expression of short and long ACE2.
ACE2 is the main viral entry point for SARS-CoV-2. We and others have recently demonstrated that two forms of ACE2, short and long, are expressed in airway epithelial cells, and th...
