Beyond Eurocentrism: Global migration and mobility in times of crises

This project will explore migration-related phenomena from a comparative and global perspective. It aims to contribute novel and original knowledge and understanding that challenge and go beyond the inherent Eurocentrism in migration studies. Read more

Protein self assembly induced by multivalent biological metabolites

In addition to being an energy source in biological reactions, recent discoveries suggest adenosine triphosphate (ATP) also plays a critical role in maintaining cell stability and preventing deleterious cellular processes through modulating biomacromolecular self assembly. Read more

The effects of fiction consumption on Theory-of-Mind in adults

  Research Group: Psychology
Past studies have shown that reading fiction is linked to better Theory of Mind (ToM). Yet not much is known about literary aspects or whether the type of fiction modality that drives this superior performance. Read more

Identifying cognitive and biochemical changes underlying lifestyle risk factors for dementia

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Dementia describes a group of age-associated conditions of which cognitive decline is a major feature. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and is characterised by the onset of a gradual cognitive decline. Read more

2-micron integrated photonics

Supervisory Team: Jacob Mackenzie, Goran Mashanovich, Colin Mitchell. Project description. Integrated photonics has come of age, enabled by nano-fabrication technologies. Read more

Common genetic origins of visual and neurocognitive disorders

There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration).

Harnessing the genetics of DNA methylation to understand context-specific gene regulation in disease

Project Background. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations with health outcomes. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through a regulatory mechanism. Read more
