Feeling the heat: a mixed-methods investigation into the impacts of indoor temperature during heatwaves on populations with chronic health conditions
Establishing a maximum indoor temperature threshold to protect vulnerable people and manage heat-related immediate health risks for future heatwaves. Read more
Providing up-to-date risk estimates from prognostic models: further development and application of temporal recalibration
Prognostic models estimate an individual’s risk of future outcomes conditional on their characteristics (e.g. age, ethnicity, and biomarker levels). Read more
The role of rare genetic variants in progressive pulmonary fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease where the lungs become progressively scarred. There is currently no cure for IPF and around 6,000 people are diagnosed with IPF each year. Read more
Combining insights and analytical approaches from genomics and sociology to explore - trajectories of substance use by young people
The emerging field of sociogenomics considers how insights from genomics might be incorporated into understandings of an array of social issues, from social mobility to addiction. Read more
Mucin genetic variation in lung disease
Understanding how genetic variation contributes to complex lung disease is important in understanding how the disease develops and identifying potential molecular targets for therapy. Read more
Understanding asthma through population-scale long-read sequencing of diverse genomes
Understanding the diversity of human genomes is important for understanding the contribution of genetic variation to disease, including asthma. Read more
Examining the legal, ethical and social implications of whole genome sequencing at birth
Developments in genomic testing mean that it is now possible to conduct whole genome sequencing of newborn infants. Read more
Exploring the contribution of complex genomic variation to fibrosis risk
Fibrosis (scarring) is a pathological feature of many different diseases and can affect most organs of the body. Fibrosis is a major cause of mortality accounting for around a third of deaths worldwide. Read more

Examining factors contributing to postgraduate researcher wellbeing and resilience
Undertaking doctoral study can be a time of transition and change, particularly for those researchers completing PhD studies (Laudel & Gläser, 2008). Read more
Using neurofeedback during exergaming to improve balance in people living with Parkinson’s Disease
Project Description. People living with Parkinson’s (PwP) rank balance problems amongst the most disabling symptom. Over time, balance function continues to decline and PwP go on to fall, affecting between 45-68% of PwP. Read more
