Greening the North, Changing the Climate: Quantifying BVOC-Mediated Feedbacks from High-Latitude Vegetation Change

University of Leeds
School of Earth & Environment
Project Description. In addition to storing carbon, controlling the reflectivity of the land surface and mediating the transfer of moisture to the atmosphere, the presence of forests can influence the atmospheric concentrations of short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) including ozone, methane and aerosols.

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: AI-assisted rapid on-site evaluation in lung cancer diagnosis: model development and two-centre external validation

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
Lung cancer is often diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) or robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB), procedure that takes needle samples from tissue in the chest. Read more

Is a Global Magnetic Field Required for Planetary Habitability?

University of Leeds
School of Earth & Environment
Life on Earth has persisted for billions of years and it is the only planet where we know life exists. Planets such as Mars and Venus may have had conditions amenable to life in the past but cannot currently maintain an abundant biosphere. Read more

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: MR Fingerprinting response to anti-seizure medication treatment outcome

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
Around one in three people with epilepsy do not respond to anti-seizure medication, yet we still cannot predict, at the point of diagnosis, who these patients will be. Read more

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Cell-free assembly and engineering of programmable protein nanocages for mRNA vaccine delivery

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
Vaccine mRNA can only work if it reaches the part of the cell where proteins are made. Can engineered protein shells protect vaccine mRNA and release it inside cells to produce an antigen, while avoiding excessive inflammation?. Read more

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Harnessing cross reactive T-cell responses to prevent future pandemics

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
Pandemics always arrive without sufficient warning. When a new virus emerges, there is no vaccine ready and no time to build one from scratch. Read more

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: A quantitative micro-MRI platform for validating vascularised cardiac organoids as non-animal models of heart disease

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
Cardiac organoids are three-dimensional constructs composed of cardiomyocytes, endothelial and fibroblasts. They provide a more physiologically relevant model of the beating heart than conventional cell culture systems and can be used to study cardiac development, function and disease. Read more

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Targeting the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) as a strategy to ameliorate the burden of age-related fibrotic disease

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
This project will investigate how ageing cells contribute directly to fibrosis, a major feature of many age-related diseases. Senescent cells accumulate with age because they are no longer efficiently removed by the immune system. Read more

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Developing and characterising antivirals to treat neuronal complications of non-polio enterovirus infection

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
Enteroviruses are a diverse group of picornaviruses infecting, among other sites, the central nervous system (CNS). Poliovirus, the most well known subtype causes paralysis in 1 in 200 infections and remains on the WHO eradication list. Read more

Characterising Earthquakes in Oceanic Lithosphere: New Seismological Constraints on Plate Stresses and Deformation

University of Leeds
School of Earth & Environment
This project will characterise earthquakes occurring at shallow depths in oceanic lithosphere, determining their location, depth, source mechanism, and rupture characteristics, down to magnitudes not previously possible, and use the resulting dataset to explore the tectonic and geodynamic implications of the distribution of seismicity.

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Mechanistic investigation into covalent kinase inhibitor-induced liver injury following checkpoint inhibitor treatment

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
Despite years of intensive research, cancer has poor patient outcomes largely due to late-stage diagnosis, limited treatment options, and lack of biomarkers for early detection. Read more
