Eastbio Biochemical, metabolomic & agronomic profiling of the tuberous legume food crop, Apios americana, for Scotland / UK.
The proposed project will investigate the potential for developing an underutilised, high protein and nutritionally dense tuberous legume crop (Apios americana; potato bean) to be grown in Scotland and the wider UK at a commercial scale. Read more
Role of diet to combat Heart Failure and Stroke comorbidities: based on metabolomic approach
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Heart Failure (HF) and stoke affects significant proportion of older population, with a subsequently increased number of people living with its comorbidities. Read more

A Multi-Omics approach to understanding cardiovascular risk in patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease
Background. End-stage Kidney failure, also known as End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD), is the final, irreversible stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), where kidney function has worsened to the point that the kidneys can no longer function independently. Read more
Sarcopenia and frailty diagnosis, management, and treatment in older patients with long term conditions (heart failure, diabetes, stroke, CKD)
Sarcopenia, a serious geriatric syndrome with loss of skeletal muscle mass, plus low muscle strength, and/or low physical performance, is a public health concern facing aging societies. Read more
Developing the macroalgae (seaweeds) as indicator species for marine mortality events: an -omic approach
Over the past few years, marine life worldwide has suffered many mass mortality events, with a prominent recent UK example being the dead and distressed crabs that washed up around Teesside in Oct 2021. Read more
MRC Precision Medicine: Metabolomics to Stratify Psoriatic Arthritis and Direct Precision Treatments
Research Group:
Institute of Infection, Immunity & Inflammation
Project summary. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a common chronic inflammatory condition affecting the joints and musculoskeletal system. Read more
MRC Precision Medicine: Identifying Clinically Relevant Metabolite and Lipid Markers for Precise Diagnosis and Treatment of CNS-Leukaemia
Research Group:
Institute of Infection, Immunity & Inflammation
Project summary. Cancer is the leading cause of death for children aged 1-14 years with about a quarter due to leukaemia. Furthermore, even successful treatment causes significant side-effects. Read more

Metabolic disorders, psychosocial aspects and cardiac arrhythmias: data-analysis and clinical study
In recent years a bulk of evidence have been produced on the interlink between cardiac metabolism and risk of cardiac arrhythmias. Read more
Methods of modulation of mitochondrial function in glaucoma
Background. Glaucoma is a common, irreversible, optic neuropathy affecting the vision of predominantly older adults that slowly progresses over a period of years. Read more

Metabolic integrity of the nucleus in ageing
About the Project. The Babraham Institute is a world-leader in fundamental biological research investigating the systems that underpin development and healthy ageing. Read more
Application of molecular imaging techniques for better understanding antimicrobial resistance in biofilms
The burden of antimicrobial resistance is a daily challenge in clinical settings, especially in acute and intensive care units. In burn units, it is estimated that more than 75% of deaths are associated with infections, and a key bacterial pathogen contributing to such infections is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Read more
A synthetic microbiome approach to develop new CO2 bioconversion solutions
In recognition of the growing climate emergency, nations have committed to net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 or earlier. These ambitious targets call for direct removal of emissions from the atmosphere. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms of action of intracellular anaerobic pathogens on human host cancer cell metabolic networks (BREWER_U23MMB)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and ~307,000 men die every year. We know that infectious agents, such as bacteria and viruses, are involved in the development of a variety of cancers such as cervical, stomach, and bladder cancer. Read more
An investigation of the influence of life-long metabolic factors that contribute to age-related eye diseases
Primary open-angle glaucoma is a major source of disability and blindness. Genetic studies have been hugely successful in improving our understanding of this disease, but the mechanisms through which, in interaction with non-genetic factors, they can lead to glaucoma is not well understood.
