Fueling Net-Zero: Advanced CFD and Multi-Physics Modelling for Carbon-Free Fuels (Ref: AAE-TH-2612)

The global transition toward a low-carbon economy requires immediate, scalable solutions for industrial power generation. Carbon-free ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) have emerged as essential fuels; however, their combustion characteristics present significant challenges. Read more

Advancing temperature-differentiated carbon isotope analysis (Ref: SSH-HG-26)

Carbon isotope analysis is a crucial tool for tracing biogeochemical processes, yet effective differentiation of organic and inorganic carbon components often requires targeted pre-treatment, such as acidification or bleaching, to isolate specific carbon pools prior to analysis. Read more

Improved survival analyses in molecular cancer studies

  Research Group: Statistical Medicine and Molecular Biology
A common challenge in cancer studies concerns the topic of survival analysis; that is, the question of modelling the time until an event happens, where that may mean literal survival or an event such as biochemical recurrence (BCR) or metastasis. Read more

EASTBIO Data-driven biology from imperfect observations: integrating professional and citizen-science biodiversity data

  Research Group: Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling
Environmental regulators rely on biological monitoring to assess the condition of rivers and detect ecological change, but high-quality professional monitoring is expensive and consequently limited in its spatial and temporal coverage. Read more

EASTBIO Unravelling the Regulation of Small RNAs in the Prostate

  Research Group: Statistical Medicine and Molecular Biology
Aside from messenger RNA (mRNA), a whole raft of small non-coding RNAs are at work in the cell, but these have been relatively neglected in studies of genetic and epigenetic regulation. Read more

Water and the biology of structure of articular cartilage

Articular cartilage (AC) is composed of ~70% water by weight. The rules for life for this critical constituent of AC are poorly understood, and often overlooked experimentally. Read more

EASTBIO The evolutionary fate of new mutations

  Research Group: Statistical Medicine and Molecular Biology
Every evolutionary change begins with a new mutation. But what happens to a new mutation once it appears? Does it help an organism survive and reproduce, or does it disappear without leaving a trace? How these new mutations affect evolution remains an open question in evolutionary biology. Read more

Musculoskeletal and physiological responses to short-term vortex wave stimulation in older adults

Reductions in muscle mass and function are known to occur with ageing and disuse. While resistance exercise training is known to minimise these detrimental changes, it is not always feasible due to counterindications or personal preferences. Read more
