Antimicrobial Stewardship and the role of the nurse within the hospital setting: The need to speak up. (Ref: SHLS22103)
Research Group:
Safeguarding Health through Infection Prevention
Background. Antimicrobial resistance is a public health priority with human, financial and social costs. Although Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) has typically been the role of doctors or pharmacists, nurses have a key role in the preservation of antibiotics as one of the main deliverers of patient care.

Patient and visitor perspectives on measures to reduce Respiratory Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI)- the pandemic legacy (Ref: SHLS22104)
Research Group:
Safeguarding Health through Infection Prevention
Introduction. The pandemic has had an impact on patient and visitor experience in the content of IPC measures such as hand hygiene and mask use. Read more
Macrophage driven therapy resistance in AML: from macrophage subset characterisation to therapeutic targeting. (Ref SHLS20065)
Research Group:
Molecular Mechanisms and Long Term Conditions
Reference. SHLS20065. Background. Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is a common blood cancer in adults; with its incidence increasing with age, AML cases are predicted to double by 2030. Read more
SHLS22101 Targeting cancer pathways in metabolic syndrome to prevent liver cancer
Research Group:
Molecular Mechanisms and Long Term Conditions
Background. Liver cancer (HCC) is a common and lethal disease with few treatment options and rising prevalence. Read more
Investigating hepatic p53-mediated neutrophil suppression in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (Reference SHLS22100)
Research Group:
Molecular Mechanisms and Long Term Conditions
Liver cancer is a common and lethal disease with few treatment options. Rates of liver cancer in Scotland are highest in the UK for both women and men (both approximately 1.5 times higher than average). Read more
Tackling a global public health threat: Nurses antimicrobial stewardship in the post-pandemic era (Ref: SHLS21077)
Research Group:
Safeguarding Health through Infection Prevention
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to result in increased antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Read more
Exploiting the microRNA ‘signature’ of high density lipoproteins in cells and tissues: routes to novel therapeutics (Ref: SHLS21096)
The protective roles of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in inflammatory diseases (atherosclerosis, diabetes and impaired wound healing) has focused attention on the molecular mechanisms by which this heterogeneous lipoprotein class achieves these outcomes. Read more
Investigating the role of food as a vehicle for microbial transmission and antimicrobial resistance genes.
Research Group:
Safeguarding Health through Infection Prevention
Reference. SHLS20067. The emergence of infectious diseases impacts a significant socio-economic burden on global economies and public health. Read more
Investigating the role of the biofilm in waste water treatment plants as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance
Ref. SHLS20023 Spencer. Background. By 2050, 10 million premature deaths could occur annually as the result of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). An important route of AMR into the environment is via the sewerage network where key control points are the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Read more
The role of the microbiome in diabetic foot ulcers
Research Group:
Molecular Mechanisms and Long Term Conditions
Reference. SHLS20069. Background. Recently the composition of the bacterial species that reside in specific areas – the microbiome has been implicated in many long term health conditions. Read more
