Identifying secreted biomarkers in brain cancer

Stage IV brain cancer or glioblastoma (GBM) poses a major challenge with only 5 FDA approved chemotherapeutic drugs available for treatment. Read more

Investigating how dormant senescent cells can drive drug-resistance following chemotherapy

Most anti-cancer chemotherapeutics work by inducing DNA damage and arresting the cell cycle in either G1 or G2 phase. A frequent outcome of this arrest is that cells exit the cell cycle into a state known as senescence. Read more

Examining the dysfunction of DNA damage repair in synucleinopathies

DNA damage is an emerging stressor implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Our recent research within post-mortem dementia with Lewy body brain tissue has highlighted the dysregulation of several DNA damage repair pathways, alongside the occurrence of a novel nuclear alpha-synuclein pathology. Read more

Investigating Lysosomal Dysfunction in Ageing and Neurodegeneration

Lysosomes are key cellular organelles that degrade and recycle macromolecules, act as signalling hubs and are implicated in many diseases including Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) where old age is a major risk factor. Read more

Developing new methods of assessing non-clinical topics in medical education

Medical education is increasingly moving into a competency-based model, where the emphasis on fact learning has decreased, and learners are required to demonstrate understanding of concepts beyond core science and pathophysiology. Read more

Perceptual quality assessment on reconstructed CT images

Although Computed Tomography (CT) scan has been widely used for accurate disease diagnosis and treatment, there is a risk that patients may be exposed to a high amount of ionising radiation due to the frequent use of CT scan. Read more

Developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based self-training platform for laparoscopic surgery.

Various research throughout the years have been devoted to exploring different and more effective ways of training for laparoscopy, within the conventional frameworks of using box trainers and virtual reality simulators. Read more

Scotland’s diaspora – was there social justice for the ‘failed’ immigrant in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries?

The creation of clubs and societies organised around ethnicity characterised the Scottish diasporic experience, both for those who received alms and for those who sought a means through which to meet and socialise with other Scots. Read more

Binks Institute for Sustainability: Risk and sustainability dimensions of renewable energy infrastructure in the UK and Ireland in a changing climate

The transition from the primary reliance on exhaustible fossil fuel energy sources to renewable energy sources - decarbonisation of energy production - is an essential element of the government pledge to achieve Net Zero by 2050. Read more

Binks Institute for Sustainability: The value of energy storage in a ‘zero carbon’ energy system, with applications to UK

As the global economy is transitioning away from high carbon energy resources, it is widely expected that a large share of future electricity will be generated from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar (see, for example, IEA (2023)). Read more
