Investigating the impact of adiposity-redox defence interaction on redox homeostasis and inflammatory and cancer-related pathways in human colonocytes Mar 15, 2021 - Mar 14, 2023
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancer-related death.
Increased body fat have been reported as one of the main factors responsible for the rise in colorectal cancer.
For this reaso... Read More about Investigating the impact of adiposity-redox defence interaction on redox homeostasis and inflammatory and cancer-related pathways in human colonocytes.

Dial a wavelength for exploiting the algal cell factory Oct 1, 2021 - Sep 30, 2025
This project aims to develop a new solution for cost effective production of microalgae, using efficient smart lighting that can adapt both intensity and wavelength during a growth cycle to target strains and specific products.

Nationwide surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in the Scottish population by wastewater-based epidemiology Oct 1, 2023 - Sep 30, 2027
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most significant threats to global health we face today. The WHO outlined in their AMR Global Action Plan that surveillance of AMR is essential to strengthen our knowledge and evidence base, and for the de...

A novel in vitro model of the human intestinal epithelium in co-culture with “gut-like” dendritic cells Feb 1, 2023 - Dec 31, 2024
In the UK, over half a million people have an Inflammatory Bowel Disease, like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. These diseases cause painful symptoms like severe pain, diarrhoea, and weight loss. This is due to the body's immune system attackin...
