Understanding the role of spliceosome gene mutations in disease
The DNA of a cell is copied into a pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) that the cell uses as a template for protein production. Some of the information contained in DNA is not required for making proteins, therefore, unwanted information must be removed before a protein is made. Read more
Microbiology of Hip Arthroplasty Cements
Research Group:
Centre for Skin Sciences
Replacement hip and knee arthroplasties are common surgeries, with 31,000 hip and 90,000 knee replacements performed in England in 2020-21. Read more
Ejecting infection: Understanding how epithelial tissues rid themselves of viral infections by apical extrusion
Background. The epithelial tissues of our bodies use physical barriers and innate defences to fight viral infection. Read more
Better together: constructing tuneable fluorescent protein sensors for cellular imaging of protein-protein interactions
Project Description. Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) commonly occur in biology with ~650,000 contributing to processes critical to human life. Read more
Modelling, Simulation, Optimisation and Performance Assessment of Carbon Capture for Refinery
CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is increasing which causes global warming and climate change. Capturing CO2 from FCCU flue gas in refinery will be an important step in reducing the total CO2 emissions from the refinery. Read more
Techno-Economic Evaluation and Life-Cycle Analysis of Intensified Carbon Capture for Large-Scale Blue Hydrogen Production
Hydrogen production from fossil fuels with carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) otherwise known as blue hydrogen (H2) production is a low-carbon fuel source. Read more
Study of CO2 Utilisation for Dimethyl Carbonate Production (DMC) through Process Modelling and Simulation
CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is increasing which causes global warming and climate change. How to use the captured CO2 is a key question to answer. DMC is an important product with wide applications. Read more
Study of Direct Air Capture and CO2 Utilisation Driven by Renewable Energy through Modelling and Simulation
Severe global warming caused by an unprecedented increase in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has led to natural disasters such as glaciers melting, intensified heat waves, droughts and floods. Read more
Process Simulation and Integration of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) in the Context of Wind Electricity
With the penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources into the national electricity grid, it is increasingly challenging to balance the electricity demand and generation. Energy storage (esp. Read more
Molecular Modelling and Simulation for Solid Adsorbents for Industrial Carbon Capture
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is viewed as a key technology to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions worldwide. In addition to solvent based carbon… Read more
Process Simulation and Technical Evaluation of Solid Adsorbents for Carbon Capture
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is viewed as a key technology to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions worldwide. In addition to solvent based carbon… Read more
Performance Assessment and Flexibility Study of Natural Gas-Fired Power Plants Integrated with Intensified Solvent Based Carbon Capture
Natural gas-fired (mainly combined cycle gas turbine) power plants are becoming increasingly popular due to its cleaner nature. Solvent based carbon capture is the most matured technology for commercial deployment in natural gas-fired power plants. Read more
Process Modelling and Flexibility Study of Coal-Fired Power Plants Integrated with Intensified Solvent Based Carbon Capture
Coal is the major primary energy source in many countries such as China and India. Coal-fired power plants are the largest single sources of CO2 emissions. Read more
Microalgal Carbon Sequestration Towards a Carbon Negative Economy
The increasing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere is a major environmental crisis that is in immediate need of innovative solutions. Read more
