Low density lipoprotein oxidation and atherosclerosis
Project overview. The research in Professor David Leake’s group is concerned with atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of coronary heart disease and thrombotic strokes. Read more
Examining the mechanisms that cause cardiovascular disease by studying the heart or adipose tissue
Heart failure has a serious impact on our society and once diagnosed has a poor survival rate. In the United Kingdom, there are about 1.5 million people living with the after-effects of a heart attack. Read more
Platelets in health, ageing and disease: new diagnostics and treatments
Platelets are small blood cells that play a vital role in the chronic and acute progression of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and also have roles in immunity, inflammation, cancer metastasis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of infections, such as dengue, HIV-1, malaria, and COVID-19. Read more
Understanding the link between healthy ageing and social interaction
Project Overview: . Healthy ageing is a priority research area since we are living longer than ever before. Read more
Multi-organ signalling and diseases. How maintaining skeletal muscle mass impacts the development of liver diseases
Skeletal muscle has a number of roles in the human body beyond locomotion. It has a vital role in controlling the metabolic activity the organism. Read more
Silver ion-based antimicrobials: mechanisms of toxicity and resistance
The emergence and persistence of bacterial strains with resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics has led to renewed interest in the antimicrobial properties of silver ions. Read more
Developing a virus-like particle (VLP) Polio vaccine
Poliovirus is a non-enveloped RNA virus, spread via the faecal-oral route, that causes the disease Poliomyelitis (Polio). In most cases poliovirus infection causes mild symptoms but in a small proportion (. Read more
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of thrombosis and haemostasis
Project Overview: . The risk of heart attack or stroke is elevated in obesity and in people with metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Read more
How do hormones regulate memory?
Deficiencies of thyroid hormone are common throughout the globe. Adult-onset hypothyroidism is prevalent in around 8-10% of the population and is associated with reproductive disorders, anxiety, depression, and impairment of memory. Read more
Exploring the impact of microplastic-bacterial complexes on animal health and the gut microbiome
Plastic pollution is a global issue and rapidly emerging as a crisis for both environmental and human health. Read more
Protein engineering enzymes for Industry
We are interested in key features of the protein sequence - structure - function relationship, and how this information can be translated to health. Read more
Oscillations in biological systems
Living systems are complex and are based on the basic building blocks of genes, proteins, chemical reactions, and physical forces. Read more
