Chemical origins of biological catalysis on early Earth
The chemical origin of life is one of the greatest unanswered questions in the natural sciences. how did life start on early Earth several billions of years ago? The short answer is we do not know yet. Read more
Dissecting how innate immune heterogeneity controls health and disease
Inflammation is the response of our immune systems to danger. It is a beneficial host response coordinated largely innate immune cells such as macrophages. Read more
Tuberculosis in Non-Human Primates: Best Practice Diagnostic Pathways in Zoological Settings, Integrating a One Health Approach
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) organisms, presents a significant zoonotic risk, affecting human health, wildlife, and domestic animals. Read more
The Hidden Menace: Unpicking The Risk Of Antimicrobial Resistance Carriers Within The UK Canine Population
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to pose an increasing threat to animal health. Escalating isolation of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) causing infections in dogs leads to few licensed antimicrobials available for treatment. Read more
Investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying antibody-stimulated INSR signaling bias and potential implications for understanding processes linking insulin resistance and development of atherosclerosis
One focus of the Brierley lab is the investigation of the potential utility of agonistic INSR antibodies as a therapy for severe insulin resistance caused by INSR mutations. Read more
