Development of a relevant cocultured cell skins models to understand the development of biofilms in wounds

  Research Group: Division of Pharmacy and Optometry
Bacteria colonize skin but in general, do not form biofilms when the skin is intact; however, bacteria do form biofilms in wounds which delays healing. Read more

EPSRC DTP - Mechanical failure mechanisms at high pressure

The occurrence of earthquakes with hypocenters deeper than 60 km was recognised very early in the history of seismology. These deep earthquakes make up∼25 % of all earthquakes, are exclusively associated with convergent plate boundaries and locate within, or very close to, thcold subducting oceanic lithosphere.
