Investigating bacteria-bacteriophage diversity to develop phage libraries for treatment of bacterial infections
Project Overview. The World Health Organisation (WHO) predicts antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections will be the leading cause of death globally by 2050. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms of antibacterial action of silver and copper ions and nanoparticles, and the emerging threat of metal-ion resistance
Project Overview. The emergence of bacterial strains with resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics has led to renewed interest in the antimicrobial properties of metals including silver. 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
Bowel cancer caused by bacteria
The gut microbiome has a profound effect on health and disease of humans and colorectal cancer (CRC) is one such disease influenced by microorganisms. Read more
Shining a (blue) light on Campylobacter: Exploiting an innate vulnerability to photodynamic killing
Project Overview. Campylobacter jejuni is a microaerophilic Gram-negative pathogen that causes human campylobacteriosis, one of the most widespread zoonotic enteric diseases worldwide. 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
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
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
