How do sugar-sweetened beverage taxes really work? A complexity-informed synthesis to guide best-practice development
Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) taxes are intended to reduce SSB consumption, and thereby reduce obesity and type 2 diabetes rates. However, SSB taxes vary greatly in terms of desig...
Human monoclonal antibodies against Shigella (ShiMabs), for therapy and vaccine acceleration
The project is expected to contribute significantly to a flagship approach to Shigella and to accelerate the development of an ultimate remedy to shigellosis.This will be done by i...
The Research Software Alliance (ReSA)
Research software is a critical component of open research, and an increased focus on research software challenges will further the objectives of Wellcome Trust’s Open Research pro...
DIGItal and BIOpolymer assisted RAILway embankment reinforcement
Railway embankments are at the risk of serious deformation caused either by the dynamic loads from moving vehicles, geohazards or both, and as such pose a threat to not only safety...
