Using chemical-genetics to inhibit and characterise “undruggable” enzymes

The ability to inhibit kinases with small molecule drugs has transformed our understanding of signalling networks. It has allowed us to define the substrates and processes that each kinase controls, and to map how these enzymes cooperate within signalling pathways. Read more

Investigating the influence of individual culture and cultural competence in developing and applying clinical reasoning skills among junior medical doctors

Clinical reasoning skills are at the heart of the effective functioning of medical practitioners. They are not only essential for delivering high-quality patient care but also integral to all aspects of a doctor's daily work. Read more

Biomechanical investigation of minimally assisted vs self and conventional extrication of people form vehicles following road traffic collisions

Road traffic collisions are a leading cause of death worldwide; indeed, road traffic injuries are the number one cause of death for children and young adults aged 5-29 years, and, more than 90% of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Read more

Investigating mechanisms of extra-cellular matrix remodelling and fibrosis in the gastrointestinal tract

Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease, are increasing in prevalence globally. These are caused by chronic inflammation in the gut, there is no cure and medications are not effective for all. Read more

Identifying secreted biomarkers in brain cancer

Stage IV brain cancer or glioblastoma (GBM) poses a major challenge with only 5 FDA approved chemotherapeutic drugs available for treatment. Read more

Examining the dysfunction of DNA damage repair in synucleinopathies

DNA damage is an emerging stressor implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Our recent research within post-mortem dementia with Lewy body brain tissue has highlighted the dysregulation of several DNA damage repair pathways, alongside the occurrence of a novel nuclear alpha-synuclein pathology. Read more

Investigating the role of RNA dependent DNA repair in childhood cancer

Damage to our genetic material DNA is responsible for a wide range of human diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, haematological diseases, immune deficiencies, early ageing and cancers. Read more

Investigating functional and kinematic alterations in upper limb motion following clavicular malunions in adults using 3-D kinematic analysis and functional tasks.

Current evidence suggests displaced, mid-shaft clavicle fractures can be managed conservatively with satisfactory long-term functional outcomes, although critically other studies suggest 42% of people have residual sequalae; including deficit in shoulder strength and endurance. Read more

Exploring cultural and structural factors that support equity, diversity, inclusion and respect in medical schools.

There is growing recognition of the importance of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Respect (EDIR) issues captured formally in medical schools by the requirements of the Athena SWAN award, Stonewall and the Race Equality Charter. Read more

Combining laser and ultrasound based molecular delivery strategies for enhanced drug delivery

Overview. This project addresses the critical area of delivering therapeutics to the skin. If successful, the approach will have direct and positive consequences for the treatment of a range of skin diseases, but may also be viewed as a more generic means of drug delivery for treating a much wider range of disease.
