Controlling airborne infectious disease transmission in indoor environment
Infectious disease pandemics are brutal killers in human history. The recent COVID-19 outbreak in China has killed over 2.4K people globally, and more than 78K people are infected across 28 countries (As of 22th Feb 2020). Read more
The application of artificial intelligence in the assessment of balance and gait for the patients with Alzheimer's Disease and the implication in the diagnosis and rehabilitation
Alzheimer’s disease is widely happened for the mid-aged and elderly. The prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease will be increased in the future. Read more

Understanding the role of fungal effector proteins in antagonistic fungus–microbe interactions
Background. Fungi secrete a collection of proteins to their surrounding environments. In the case of plant-pathogenic fungi, many of these proteins are virulence factors, termed effectors, which function to promote host colonization through the modulation of plant physiology or immunity1. Read more
Membrane protein misfolding and disease: quality control pathways
Misfolded proteins represent a continuous threat to cell viability, and if allowed to accumulate, can disrupt cellular function and induce cell death. Read more

Characterisation of porcine T follicular helper cells and their response to vaccination and infection
Since they were first discovered in 2000, the function of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells has been a subject of intense and fast-moving research. It is now clear that these cells are critical in orchestrating the B cell/antibody response and they have become a focus in improving targeted cancer immunotherapy and vaccine strategies. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Role of SAFB proteins in the regulation of miRNA function and aetiology of Huntington's disease
RNA binding proteins (RBP) play a central role in cellular metabolism by orchestrating the complex interactions of coding, non-coding, structural and regulatory RNA species. Read more
Omics approaches to reveal novel players regulating cell signalling in breast cancer
There is an unmet need for novel molecular targeted therapies to improve breast cancer patient survival outcomes. Available therapies for breast cancer patients are based on surgery, radiation, or targeted therapies mostly directed against signalling players, like kinases. Read more

Using optimal control approaches to understand resistance in the management of Septoria
Ecological decision problems, such as those encountered in agriculture, often require managing conflicts between short‐term costs and long‐term benefits. Read more
Data-Driven engineering of in-vitro disease models
The rise in chronic diseases and the quest for effective diagnostic tests/treatments is indicated as the greatest challenge to global health. Read more
Determining the roles that GRK and arrestin proteins play in the development of hypertension and vascular disease
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a very large family of heptahelical, integral membrane proteins that mediate a wide variety of physiological processes ranging from the transmission of light and odorant signals to the mediation of neurotransmission and hormonal actions. Read more
The role of vimentin in cell adhesion and motility in disease
This role supports an active research program to assess the molecular mechanisms underlying adhesive, mechanical and motile changes in cells as they relate to vimentin, the intracellular protein, and its assembled filamentous form in vimentin intermediate filaments. Read more
The impact of gut microbiome and diet interplay on neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s disease represent major health risks of ageing societies. Read more
