A mass spectrometry approach to unveil cytoplasmic bacteria interactomes
BBSRC : Gemma Kate Banister : BB/T007222/1The immune system is built to recognise infections. As such there are different systems to recognise pathogens in different environments....
How social mobility and income inequality affect health in Canada
MRC : Erik Igelström : MC_UU_00022/2People who live in countries with low inequality (where the gap between the rich and the poor is small) tend to be healthier on average...
Validating a drug resistance marker for a globally important ruminant parasite
BBSRC : Christopher Wray : BB/T008776/1Parasitic worm infections are an extremely common issue on livestock farms worldwide, costing farmers and economies billions in production lo...
Modeling Protein-Ligand Cryo-EM Structures with Neural Network Potentials
BBSRC : Regan Harle : BB/T008709/1Drugs act by binding to a target protein. Determining the three-dimensional shape the complex between a drug and a protein is challenging, particu...
Maternal disability and newborn discharge to child protective services (CPS): A mixed-methods study
ESRC:ClaireGrant:ES/P000592/1As many as one in 8 pregnancies are to women with disabilities, including physical, sensory, and developmental disabilities. These women often face neg...
How do deep-ocean turbidity currents behave that form the largest sediment accumulations on Earth?
Seafloor flows called turbidity currents form the largest sediment accumulations on Earth (submarine fans). They flush globally significant amounts of sediment, organic carbon, nut...
Investigating Sex Differences In Beta Cell Calcium Handling
MRC : Lydia Daniels Gatward : MR/N013700/1Diabetes is a disease affecting around 10% of the population which is caused by an inability to regulate blood glucose levels. Sex differe...
Electric Machine for Landing Phase Kinetic Energy Recovery of Commercial Aircraft
EPSRC : Jakub Deja : EP/V519509/1The pollution from aircraft is expected to be seven to ten times higher in 2050 compared to 1990 level. To address the issue, a kinetic energy reco...
Advanced Dyes for Printed Organic Photovoltaics
This research proposal aims to develop advanced power sources that can convert indoor light into electricity to operate electronic sensors for the internet of things (IoT) - an eme...
NSFDEB-NERC: Subtribal classification and generic delimitation among Eastern Hemisphere ironweeds (Vernonieae, Compositae)
OVERVIEW:The biodiversity crisis is among the most urgent global threats facing humanity. Confronted by this challenge, it is critical to understand plant diversity and assess cons...
Developing continuous volcano-stratigraphies across the South Atlantic Transect: NERC UK-IODP Moratorium support for Aled Evans - IODP Expedition 393
Mid-Ocean Ridges are the most extensive magmatic system on Earth, producing 75 per cent of the planet's volcanism with the resulting processes governing the architecture of at...
New Technologies for Selective Carbon Dioxide Reduction
EPSRC : Leah Webster : EP/R513052/1The rise of carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and the increasing global energy demand are two of the greatest problems facing human...
UK-IODP Moratorium Co-Chief Support for Expedition 393: Quantifying the geochemical impacts of ocean crustal ageing.
The mid-ocean ridges are a range of submarine ridge that spiral around Earth like the seams on a baseball. This is where new ocean crust is constructed from magma formed from the p...
Enabling Beyond-5G Industrial IoT through Intelligent Networking in Unlicensed Spectrum
EPSRC : George Frangulea : EP/T518141/1The use of 5G operating in unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) as an enabler for industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)/Industry 4.0 services (e.g., sma...
Recycled aerospace grade Ti-6Al-4V for structural applications in offshore renewable energy systems
EPSRC : Patrick Curran : EP/L016273/1The UK and Canada have officially declared a climate emergency; clean energy production is vital in combatting climate change. Offshore wind pr...
What controls how dehydration reactions affect intermediate-depth earthquakes in subduction zones?
You will conduct Synchrotron-based 4D CT experiments to directly observe the eff ects of metamorphic dehydration on the mechanical stability of serpentinite on the grain scale and...
Reconciling how the outer core produces geomagnetic jerks and the link with changes in the length of day
Geomagnetic jerks are associated with unpredictable rapid localised accelerations of outer core flow. This project investigates how these link and influence long-term changes in th...
Alluvial landscape evolution in response to deglaciation. A case study from the Thompson River, south-central British Columbia.
EPSRC : Samuel Woor : EP/L016036/1The amount of water (discharge) and sediment entering a river control the nature of its flow. Discharge may vary due to hydro-climatic changes, tr...
