Multimodal Assessment of Falls Risk/ Movement Performance in Older Adults Using Wearable Sensor Technologies and Visual Computing Techniques

University of Bradford

Faculty of Engineering & Digital Technologies

Falls are a leading cause of severe injury and loss of functional independence among older adults. Performance measures derived from gait and postural assessments offer valuable insight into an individual’s movement quality (and hence their falls risk). Read more

Why do we get sick when we are stressed?

University of Leicester

Department of Respiratory Sciences

Hypothesis. We hypothesise that host stress, via catecholamine stress hormones (norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine), plays a critical role in triggering the transition of Streptococcus pneumoniae from a benign coloniser in the nasopharynx to an invasive pathogen. Read more

Structural insights into how Mycobacterium tuberculosis interacts with human cells

University of Leicester

Department of Respiratory Sciences

Project. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the leading global cause of death from a single infectious agent. It is a highly specialised human pathogen and is able to adapt to changing conditions in human macrophages and granulomas in order to subvert immune defences. Read more

Bacterial lipid bodies: Targeting pathogen fat reserves for infection control

University of Leicester

Department of Respiratory Sciences

Bacterial lipid bodies (LBs), also known as intrabacterial lipid inclusions or lipid droplets, are intracellular accumulations of neutral lipids, such as triacylglycerol (TAG) and wax esters. Read more

Evaluating the genetic basis and evolution of virulence and antimicrobial drug resistance in Helicobacter pylori in a populational model

University of Leicester

Department of Genetics, Genomics and Cancer Sciences

Project background. Characterization of the genetic variation of bacterial species and the evolutionary mechanisms leading to that variation is crucial for understanding bacterial adaptation to their host environments, as well as the evolution of phenotypes such as virulence and antimicrobial drug resistance (AMR).

Exploring Weather Events Affecting The Health and Emergency intensive care admissions of children using Routine data: the WEATHER study

University of Leicester

Department of Population Health Sciences

Background. Climate change and air pollution pose a significant global challenge, disproportionately affecting the health and lives of children.1 Despite lifelong exposure, little is known about how weather impacts children, even though air pollution, which is closely linked with weather, harms every organ in the body.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel polysialyltransferase inhibitors as anti- metastatic agents

University of Bradford

Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics

Polysialic acid plays an essential role in neuronal development, but by adulthood is absent from the human body. Its biosynthesis is regulated by two polysialyltransferases (polySTs). Read more

Design, synthesis and evaluation of protease-activated anti-cancer prodrugs

University of Bradford

Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of endoproteases that are overexpressed in tumours and play crucial roles in many tumourigenic processes, not least tumour invasion and angiogenesis. Read more
