Second life: understanding deterioration of recycled plastics in Museum collections
This project will focus on understanding the deterioration of recycled plastics in museums, with the purpose of defining a long-term mitigation strategy. Recycled plastic materials...
Visualising the early secretory pathway in situ
All eukaryotic cells are organised in membrane-bound compartments which perform essential and distinct functions dependent on their protein, lipid and small molecule composition. S...
Modelling shape generation by the basement membrane.
Morphogenesis is a biophysical process where cellular forces guide complex cellular deformations that shape animal tissues and organs1. Understanding the relevant forces and how th...
A methodology to universally attenuate avian coronavirus strains
Avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is the etiological agent of infectious bronchitis, an acute highly contagious economically relevant respiratory disease of poult...
TwinSSI: Digital Twin Modelling for Soil-Structure-Interaction based on CutFEM and BIM technologies
The central requirement of project safety, stability, and resilience of complex underground systems leads to demands for more efficient computational modelling tools to assist desi...
Understanding Delays in Organ Donation after Circulatory Death in the UK: An Ethnographic Study
Background & Significance: Controlled Organ Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) refers to donation from a patient who has died following planned withdrawal of life sustaining t...
Ethnic differences in susceptibility to fatty liver, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in white Europeans, South Asians and African-Caribbean
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease are more prevalent in people of South Asian or African-Caribbean descent living in the UK, compared to White Europeans. Yet UK guid...
To explore the uptake, engagement and implementation of a digital package for early onset type 2 diabetes: a mixed-methods study
Background: Current care for people with early-onset type 2 diabetes (EOT2D) is ill-equipped to support their needs. No bespoke digital self-management programmes currently exist....
EYESAVE: AI-enabled triage for Glaucoma
Glaucoma – a heterogeneous, chronic disease affecting the optic nerve - is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and the second most common cause of certifiable sig...
Protrudin and Golgi Satellites: Novel targets for axon regeneration and neuroprotection in the visual system
This proposal aims to develop gene therapy for degenerative eye disease whilst investigating the molecular mechanisms required for regeneration in the central nervous system (CNS)....
Molecular mechanisms conferring risk for colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC, or Bowel cancer) is the fourth most common cancer in UK, accounting for over 16 000 deaths annually (Cancer Research UK, 2016 statistics). It is also perhap...
APP17382: EPSRC-SFI: Active intelligent Reconfigurable surfaces for 6G wireless COMmunications (AR-COM)
Re-configurability of radio frequency (RF) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems is expected to become the bedrock of 6G wireless communications. Enabling technologies that can supp...
Raman Distributed Feedback Fibre Lasers
This proposal is focused on fibre lasers and will develop a new class of compact (centimetre length), narrow-linewidth (kHz and sub-kHz) fibre laser based on fibre Bragg gratings a...
Software to provide simulation-based minimum sample size calculations for prediction modelling
Background No tools currently exist to estimate the sample size needed to develop prediction models using machine learning or longitudinal data. Tools for regression models undere...
Supporting Your Pregnancy Programme: developing and piloting a digital-based self-management education tool to improve pregnancy outcomes in EOT2D
Background: Interventions to improve pregnancy outcomes in women with early-onset type 2 diabetes (EOT2D) are under-researched but urgently needed. Self-management programmes impro...
AFRIVERSE: Building African climate-health attribution data, digital tools and capacity
Africa has received little attention in health-climate impacts attribution studies. Key reasons include low levels of funding and human capacity for climate-health research and a l...
Improving Tourism and Hospitality Worker Well-being Through Social Dialogue
Tourism and hospitality (T&H) make up over 10% of the European economy and 11.7% of employment. Many of the 13 million employees in the EU are from marginalised groups: women (54%)...
SEASTARS: SUSTAINABLE EMISSION ABATEMENT STRATEGIES & TECHNOLOGIES FOR ADVANCED REVOLUTION SHIPS
SEASTARS main objective is to demonstrate a well-to-wake GHG emissions reduction of minimum 30% by 2030 (compared to 2008) as well as a 20% energy efficiency improvement (compared...
