Machine learning is an approach that is useful when a practical optimisation problem is difficult to describe precisely. This approach has found multiple applications. Read more
The power of natural evolution is all around us in the major branches of life that fill our world, underpinned by a genetic code that describes all creatures from bacteria to bananas to baboons. Read more
Solar photovoltaics (PVs) now account for close to 4% of global electricity generation, with installed capacity growing almost exponentially. Read more
Blood cell production (haematopoiesis) is a finely tuned process, producing trillions of new blood cells daily. In adults, blood cells are derived from haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) which reside in the bone marrow. Read more
Join the Nanopore Sequencing Revolution. Ready to dive into ground-breaking DNA sequencing research? Recent advances in DNA sequencing are revolutionizing fields like medicine, healthcare, food supply chains, and environmental safety. Read more
Leishmaniasis is the second deadliest parasitic disease with over 1.2M new cases each year across 98 countries. The Walrad and Plevin labs are long… Read more
Intracellular vesicle transport is key for establishing compartmental identities, and therefore in defining eukaryotic cells. It is of utmost importance that vesicles reach the correct target membrane, otherwise compartments become inter-mixed and their identities are lost. Read more
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from bacteria is an important activator of immune cells. Their soluble form released from the bacterial cell-wall interact with an array of host molecules found “out, on or in” cells, and are thought to activate defense mechanisms. Read more
Phytophthora infestans, also known as potato late blight, stands as one of the most formidable oomycete pathogens in agriculture, inflicting economic damage surpassing $6 billion every year. Read more
Mining activities have released vast amounts of metals into our environment. Plants offer an exciting potential solution to remediate this pollution, and recover valuable metals. Read more
The viruses that infect bacteria, known as phages, represent a major component of the soil microbiome. Yet their functional role in regulating bacterial populations and nutrient cycling remains unclear despite our need to understand what constitutes a healthy soil microbiome for food security. Read more
Over the last decade the compartmentalization of biological molecules by liquid-liquid phase separation has been shown to be ubiquitous in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Read more
