Accelerating molecular phylogenetic inference using high performance computing.
. Molecular phylogenetic inference, constructing evolutionary histories from molecular data, is an activity universal to all biological disciplines. Read more
Understanding the role of rodent niche in dissemination of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance
Project Overview. Rats and mice are one of the most prolific and widespread wildlife species. Read more
How do prenatal steroids elevate autism likelihood?
The causes of autism remain unknown. Some literature has showed a link between higher levels of steroid hormones such as testosterone in the womb and autism in children, particularly males. Read more
Inter- and intra-cellular signalling in the development of fibrosis in the hypertensive heart
Project Overview. Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In terms of volume, the normal heart is composed mostly of terminally-differentiated contractile cells (cardiomyocytes), responsible for the pump action of the heart. Read more
The relationship between dietary micronutrients (e.g. iron, zinc and vitamins), and the gut microbiota: Can dietary micronutrient regime be exploited to support gut health?
The gut microbiota has a significant influence on host health, including nutrition, development of the immune system, infection… Read more
Nutritional immunity: the battle for iron between host and pathogen
The innate immune defence system responds to bacterial infection by reducing the amount of available iron to restrict bacterial growth. Read more
Protein engineering enzymes for Industry
. We are interested in key features of the protein sequence - structure - function relationship, and how this information can be translated to health. Read more
Novel strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of snakebites
Snakebite envenomation (SBE), a high priority neglected tropical disease affects several million people worldwide resulting in as many as 150,000 deaths and around 500,000 permanent disabilities every year. Read more
The impact of gut microbiome and diet interplay on neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s disease represent major health risks of ageing societies. Read more
Using CRISPR in iPS cells to modify platelet function
Platelets are the small cells in the blood whose job it is to prevent bleeding. Under normal conditions, when they encounter a damaged blood vessel they become activated and form a thrombus. Read more
Platelet-cell interactions: Platelets beyond thrombosis and haemostasis
Platelets play a key role in the prevention of bleeding following blood vessel damage. In addition to this important role, platelets also impact the… Read more
Investigation of the critical roles of platelets at the interface between thrombosis and inflammation in order to develop improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular/inflammatory diseases
"Platelets (small circulating blood cells) are involved in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding, however, their inappropriate activation under pathological conditions leads to thrombosis resulting in major cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Read more
