Assessing Effect of Carbon Emission Reduction by Integrating Renewable Energy and Spaceborne Observation Technologies
The growth rate of atmospheric CO2 reflects the net effect of emissions and uptake resulting from anthropogenic and natural carbon sources and sinks. The anthropogenic emissions of CO2 are primarily generated by human activities, such as fossil fuel combustion for power and energy generation. Read more

Investigation of the role of the Formyl Peptide Receptor 2 in diabetic retinopathy
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in diabetic patients. One important factor contributing to this condition is the transcriptional and biosynthetic changes occurring in the retina Müller glial cells (MGCs) exposed to higher concentrations of glucose.

Structure-based design of allosteric modulators for G protein-coupled receptors using molecular modelling and pharmacology experiments
Almost all physiological processes are regulated through the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It has become widely accepted that most GPCRs possess binding sites spatially distinct from their natural ligand binding site (orthosteric site), termed as allosteric sites. Read more
