Effects of insecticides on brain activity
Project Overview. Overview . This project is an exciting new collaboration between the University of Reading and Syngenta Group, to investigate the mammalian toxicity of insecticides and understand their effects on the brain. Read more
Do Whey Protein Supplements Increase the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes?
Evidence from long-term prospective studies indicates that high consumption of some dairy protein products, a rich source of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) is associated with an improvement in glycaemic control and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Read more

Using CRISPR in iPS cells to modify platelet function
Project Overview. 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
Improved time-stepping schemes in weather and climate models
"The task of predicting weather and climate may be reduced to the following iterative procedure. First, given the state of the system at any time (the input), use the governing equations to compute the state at a slightly later time (the output). Read more
Representing ground-atmosphere coupling over complex terrain: the need for a new paradigm
Computer models used to predict the weather (known as numerical weather prediction or NWP models) and climate (known as climate models) do not simulate… Read more
Understanding how electrical communication can regulate metabolic cycles in bacteria biofilms
Project Overview. A biofilm is a robust form of bacteria colony resistant to antibiotics. They have significant impacts on a multitude of industries impacting health and industrial processes such as in food production and water security. Read more
Disappearing security threats: Understanding the silent end to the "War on Terror".
The Global War on Terror (WoT) was announced by US President George W. Bush shortly after the al Qaeda attacks in New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. Read more
