Interrogating the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tissue fibrosis
Background: Scar formation is a vital mechanism of tissue repair following injury. However, healthy tissue repair can develop into pathological fibrosis, which ultimately leads to...
Imaging the brain with ultrasound full-waveform inversion
Rapid brain imaging is central to the diagnosis and treatment of acute neurological conditions - for example stroke or head trauma. Existing imaging methods require large, immobile...
New sustainable polymers: a greener future for commercial inkjet printing
Currently, the world is at a critical point. There are endless issues that require urgent attention such as sustainable materials, clean energy, and climate change. The scientific...
Visualising Glycoprotein Interaction Dynamics
In our cells, the functions that are vital for life-from fighting infection to replicating DNA-are carried out by proteins. These are regulated by a complex array of mechanisms, in...
Mandrills and microbes: The role of the skin microbiome in primate communication
Summary This project combines microbial and behavioural ecology to examine key questions in animal behaviour, including how animals recognise kin, how they identify potential mate...
Reducing work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: UK employees' preferences for working-time reduction and the factors affecting them
Background and rationale: An equitable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in response to global climate change requires significant change in citizen's lives, particularly more...
The maternal body at work: women's experiences of accessing employment rights in relation to fertility, pregnancy and birth
This project examines the physical and mental impact of women's experiences of fertility, pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding on employment, highlighting gaps in employer expectatio...
REU Site: Inclusive Student Training in Rapidly Urbanizing Climate-sensitive Terrains (InSTRUCT)
As projected by the Fourth National Climate Assessment in 2018 for the Texas region, “As major metropolitan areas … continue their rapid population growth, overall exposure to extr...
Integrated use of genomics, metabolomics, and cytokine profiling to validate the use of 'dirty' mice to study sepsis pathophysiology
Each year ~2 million adult Americans develop sepsis and nearly 270,000 Americans die as a result of sepsis. In the U.S. VA health system in 2009, >35,000 Veterans were hospitalize...
Applying an 'omics' approach to predict hepatic decompensation events and hepatocellular carcinoma in veterans after HCV cure with direct acting antiviral therapy
The Department of Veterans Affairs is the single largest hepatitis C virus infection health care provider in the United States. Since the introduction of direct acting antivirals...
Characterization, Evaluation, and Implementation of Innovative TBI Intensive Evaluation and Treatment Programs (IETP)
The Veterans Health Administration, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) National Program Office developed five specialty Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers (PRC) to provide...
Defining translational mechanisms to promote regenerative healing of chronic wounds
Defining translational mechanisms to promote regenerative healing of chronic wounds Abstract: Chronic wounds are common among our veterans, often impacting negatively on their ab...
ShEEP Request for a Zeiss Axio Imager M2 with Stereo Investigator System
Stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), cardiac arrest (CA), posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE), and neuropathic pain are leading causes of death and long-term disability among Veterans....
Collaborative Research: MIM: Gut-inhabiting fungi influence structure and function of herptile microbiomes through horizontal gene transfer and novel metabolic function
Reptiles and amphibians are among the most threatened species on the planet, and an increasing number of their species must be managed in captive breeding programs. Understanding t...
Role of mRNA-binding protein tristetraprolin in cardiac mRNA regulation and the development of heart failure
Heart failure (HF) is a major health epidemic in developed countries, however, its underlying pathology is not well characterized. Tristetraprolin (TTP) is a tandem zinc finger pr...
