Hazard Identification Platform to Assess the Health Impacts from Indoor and Outdoor Air Pollutant Exposures, through Mechanistic Toxicology
The focus on particulate matter (PM2.5) mass reductions in UK air quality policy reflects the metrics measured for regulatory compliance. Epidemiological approaches have struggled...
Ingenious: UnderstandING the sourcEs, traNsformations and fates of IndOor air pollUtantS
In developed countries such as the UK, we spend 90% of our time indoors with approximately two thirds of this in our homes. Despite this fact, most air pollutant regulation focuses...
Hazard Identification Platform to Assess the Health Impacts associated with Indoor and Outdoor Air Pollutant Exposures
The focus on particulate matter (PM2.5) mass reductions in UK air quality policy reflects the metrics measured for regulatory compliance. Epidemiological approaches have struggled...
CAREER: Automated Design of Decentralized Robust and Explainable Swarm Systems (ADDRESS)
The objective of this Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) project is to identify and test new scientific principles to design swarm robotic systems with dependable collective...
Functional and Neuroprotective Effects of Restoring Lower Limb Sensation after Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Thus project addresses a gap in the available interventions for Veterans with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN), a large and growing chronic disease population within the VHA....
CAREER: Decoupling Structure and Composition with Zintl Polymorphs
PART 1: NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY One of the most fundamental challenges in the design of new functional materials is decoupling the role played by the crystal structure from tha...
PlantSynBio: Optimized CAM Engineering for Improving Water-use Efficiency in Plants
Crassulacean acid metabolism and tissue succulence are metabolic and anatomical adaptations that improve water-use efficiency and drought (and salinity) stress tolerance in plants....
Trojan Horse: Using virus-like particles as RNA delivery devices in invertebrates as a pest-control strategy
This proposal aims to spark a revolution in agricultural pest control for the 21st century. Since the middle of the twentieth century, insect pests have been controlled primarily t...
Planetary Science at The University of Manchester
We seek to understand how our Solar System's diverse environments formed and evolved through time, and how they operate today. We study samples that arrived at the Earth's surface...
Stoichiometric rare-earth crystals for novel integrated quantum memories
Quantum information science is the field of research that studies the information present in a quantum system. A number of new technological applications can be envisaged thanks to...
Molecular Analysis of Nuclear Bodies and RNP Trafficking Pathways in the Cell Nucleus
Many important processes within mammalian cells are compartmentalised within specific subcellular structures. Thus, membrane bound cytoplasmic organelles, such as mitochondria and...
Centre of Excellence for Hybrid Thermal Propulsion Systems
The scale of the investment (in power generation, transmission and charging infrastructure) that is required to support the widespread adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is massiv...
Divide and rule: localised Ca2+ signalling in sensory neurons
In order to perceive and evaluate the environment, animals and humans are equipped with a special part of the nervous system, the somatosensory system. It includes nerves that run...
Increasing Student Access to Industrial and Scientific Equipment Training through Authentic Remote Learning Experiences
An important part of preparing students for the technical workforce is training on engineering technologies that are currently used in industry. However, due to high equipment cost...
Transforming Food System Relationships
In this project, we will investigate the role that regional food systems could play in promoting healthier and more sustainable production and consumption practices, and how we can...
Comics and Race in Latin America
From early caricatures to recent accusations of anti-Asianism, comics in Latin America have a troubled relationship to race. As comics use visual shorthands to communicate complex...
A new hierarchical modelling framework for active control: making waves in interfacial flow-based technologies
We are surrounded by situations that depend on a controlled outcome in our day-to-day lives, ranging from controlling the evacuation of crowds, to efficient drug delivery, or desig...
CAREER: A Systematic Understanding of Accelerated Emergence and Transmission of Antibiotic Resistance under Non-antibiotic Micropollutant Exposure
Antibiotic resistance poses a major global threat to public health. The World Health Organization estimates that annual deaths due to antibiotic resistant infections could reach 10...
Innovation Training and Scholarships To Improve Student Retention and Graduation in STEM Fields
This project will contribute to the national need for well-educated scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians by supporting the retention and graduation of high-achiev...
Brainwide neural populations supporting multisensory decision-making
To represent the external world and make appropriate decisions, brains need to combine information from different sensory modalities. This process is ubiquitous and vital, whether...
