Effects of estrogen on the activity of hypoxic neural networks

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Engineering

Project Overview. This project offers an exciting opportunity to understand how estrogen protects the brain from the effects of stroke. Read more

Supervisor: Dr E Delivopoulos

Gel brain and body - What if intelligence does not arise from a brain controlling a body, but from a electroactive hydrogel that computes and moves simultaneously?

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Engineering

Project Overview. Life begins as a single cell. At this stage, there is no distinction between brain and body, no predefined controller, and no specialised architecture for computation or actuation. Read more

Delivering Sustainable Energy Solutions to Ports

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Engineering

Ports are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions as they commonly move up to 10,000 containers a day from ship to road or rail transport and correspondingly in the reverse direction from land transport onto ships. Read more

Coupled chemical oscillations in networks of neurons and astrocytes

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Engineering

Project Overview. Waves and oscillations of molecules play a critical role in information processing in the brain. Meanwhile, pulsatility of hormones is the foundation of fertility, emotional regulation and mammalian behaviour. Read more

Assessment of phototherapy with model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Engineering

Project Overview. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is extensively used as model organism and is well understood from a sequencing perspective so up-regulation or down-regulation of gene expression is tractable. Read more

Assessing neurotoxicity of insecticides using patterns of brain activity

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Engineering

Project Overview. This work furthers our understanding of how chemicals can cause toxicity in the brain, with an efficient approach to screen compounds for neuroactivity and distinguish between compound effects on firing, bursting, and connectivity patterns. Read more

What is the role of steroid hormones made in the brain?

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Many behaviours differ between the sexes and this is often controlled by hormones. In our laboratory, we explore how hormones regulate behaviours that differ between the sexes. Read more

We are what we eat: Plants and their effects on the brain

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Plants synthesize many compounds that can act like hormones in mammals. A class of plant compounds called phytosteroids act like steroid hormones and may influence anxiety, reproduction and healthy aging, though the mechanisms by which these signal are poorly understood. Read more

Using CRISPR to study the molecular mechanisms of thrombosis and haemostasis

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Platelets are the small cells in the blood whose job it is to prevent bleeding. Under normal conditions, when they encounter a damaged blood vessel they become activated and form a thrombus. Read more
