Bioinformatics analyses of microbial communities and their genetic contents to understand the transmission dynamics and selection of antimicrobial resistance

Project Overview. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is one of the topics that we cannot ignore. Bacterial infections unsuccessfully treated due to AMR claim at least 700 000 lives per year worldwide and are projected to be associated with the deaths of 10 million people per year by 2050. Read more

Skin Regeneration: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

  Research Group: Division of Cell Matrix Biology and Regenerative Medicine
Healthy skin depends on strong adhesion between the cells of the upper layers of epidermis and the underlying dermis. When these attachment fails, as in trauma, chronic wounds or inherited blistering disorders, patients suffer from recurrent infections, impaired healing, and pain. Read more

Examining the mechanisms that cause cardiovascular disease by studying the heart or adipose tissue

Heart failure has a serious impact on our society and once diagnosed has a poor survival rate. In the United Kingdom, there are about 1.5 million people living with the after-effects of a heart attack. Read more

The effects of Interleukin-1 primed mesenchymal stem cells on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage

  Research Group: Division of Neuroscience
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide but with limited therapies, thus new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Read more

Ecology and infection in the respiratory tract

Project Details. The lower respiratory tract has a microbiome. It is sparser than the gut microbiome and much less well characterised, but similarly varies in health and disease, has stable composition and has direct interactions with the immune system. Read more

Development of a bioink to enable bioprinting of stromal tissue mimics

Human tissues are complex architectures made up of a combination of cells spatially organised within distinct matrices. Cells make and maintain this matrix, through which they receive biochemical, mechanical, and topological stimuli that are crucial to establish and maintain tissue function. Read more
