EASTBIO Data-driven biology from imperfect observations: integrating professional and citizen-science biodiversity data

  Research Group: Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling
Environmental regulators rely on biological monitoring to assess the condition of rivers and detect ecological change, but high-quality professional monitoring is expensive and consequently limited in its spatial and temporal coverage. Read more

Values-based models of leadership in sport

Values-based models of leadership such as authentic (Walumbwa et al., 2008) and ethical Den Hartog, 2015) leadership have received increased research attention by sport psychologists in recent years. Read more

EASTBIO Unravelling the Regulation of Small RNAs in the Prostate

  Research Group: Statistical Medicine and Molecular Biology
Aside from messenger RNA (mRNA), a whole raft of small non-coding RNAs are at work in the cell, but these have been relatively neglected in studies of genetic and epigenetic regulation. Read more

Water and the biology of structure of articular cartilage

Articular cartilage (AC) is composed of ~70% water by weight. The rules for life for this critical constituent of AC are poorly understood, and often overlooked experimentally. Read more

EASTBIO The evolutionary fate of new mutations

  Research Group: Statistical Medicine and Molecular Biology
Every evolutionary change begins with a new mutation. But what happens to a new mutation once it appears? Does it help an organism survive and reproduce, or does it disappear without leaving a trace? How these new mutations affect evolution remains an open question in evolutionary biology. Read more

Musculoskeletal and physiological responses to short-term vortex wave stimulation in older adults

Reductions in muscle mass and function are known to occur with ageing and disuse. While resistance exercise training is known to minimise these detrimental changes, it is not always feasible due to counterindications or personal preferences. Read more

Exercise-Induced Extracellular Vesicles and Tissue Crosstalk in Health

Exercise improves health throughout life, but the signals that coordinate adaptation between tissues remain poorly understood. Cells release small membrane-bound particles called extracellular vesicles into the circulation. Read more

Investigating the interplay between lysine methylation, metabolism, mitochondria and DNA repair in neurons

Our DNA is constantly damaged, which poses a threat to organismal development, and particularly neurological function. To counteract this, cells have evolved DNA repair pathways that are all regulated via post-translational modifications (PTMs). Read more

Regulation of apoptosis-induced compensatory cell proliferation and its implications for cancer and tissue regeneration

In multi-cellular organisms, coordinated cell death (e.g. apoptosis) and cell replacement is critical for tissue recovery in response to stress or damage. Read more

Long-lived deep-sea thermohaline currents and their influence on sediment-gravity flow systems

  Research Group: Eco-health and fundamental Earth
Long-lived deep-sea thermohaline currents and their influence on sediment-gravity flow systems. Background. Increasing evidence suggests that many sandy deep-water successions represent ‘hybrid’ systems in which initially deposited turbidites are modified by thermohaline-driven bottom currents. Read more

Modulated Fourier expansions for time-varying media

Time-modulated media, whose material properties change rapidly in time, are opening up new ways to control waves. They make possible frequency conversion, parametric amplification, non-reciprocal transport and “temporal crystals” with momentum band gaps. Read more
