Accessing the wellbeing commons: therapeutic resource-ification of natural and historic environments and social exclusion in the UK and Inner Asia
This project will provide a new conceptual framework for understanding social inequalities arising from differential access to therapeutic environments.By analysing social exclusio...
OPtimal Timing of Induction of labour to improve Maternal and perinatAL outcomes (OPTIMAL): An individual participant data meta-analysis and qualitative evaluation.
RESEARCH QUESTION What is the optimal timing of labour induction to reduce adverse perinatal outcomes, are there differential effects by maternal and intervention factors, and is e...
Taking lived experience involvement in mental health research forward: developing a Mental Health Treatment Acceptability Measure (MHTA).
I aim to establish a national centre of excellence in lived experience methods in mental health, initially in the form of a new research group.To do this, I will conduct a research...
Fluid-Rock Interactions for Environmental Sustainability
Molecular hydrogen has already been demonstrated to be a viable source of clean fuel that is carbon-free, with water as the only byproduct when combusted.However, traditional metho...
Pre-Operative Radiotherapy and Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Reconstruction - II Trial (PRADA-II Trial)
Research questionIs preoperative radiotherapy superior to postoperative radiotherapy in improving patient-reported satisfaction with autologous breast reconstruction, 2-years follo...
The Junction and beyond: molecular dissection of the first steps Apicomplexan parasites take to establish an intracellular niche
Plasmodium and Babesia ‘merozoites’ invade human red blood cells (RBCs) by forming a ‘moving junction’ (MJ): a molecular portal the merozoite deposits within the RBC membrane and d...
ACCLIMATISE: Attribution of a Changing CLIMate in the AssessmenT of malaria Intervention Strategy Efficiency
Recent significant investments in malaria interventions have reduced malaria burden.Contemporaneously, the climate has continued to warm with associated changes in rainfall and wea...
Visual selection through learning and attention in visual and parietal cortex for decision-making and action
The capacity of the brain is limited.Selective processing of those sensory features most relevant for behaviour is crucial for successful sensory-guided decision-making and actions...
Identifying mechanisms enabling deep diving and safe emergence from torpor
Torpor is a remarkable protective state characterized by hypothermia/hypometabolism followed by a dramatic rewarming phase. Its neuronal circuits and cellular mechanisms are largel...
Improving Cervical Cancer Outcomes in Disadvantaged Populations: Using HPV Self-Sampling to Increase AccessibilitY, Equity, and Participation in Scotland’s National Cervical SCREENing Programme- AYE-SCREEN
Background Cervical cancer is preventable and curable with human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and screening. It is also a disease of inequity. In 2020, the World Health Assembl...
Developing new cell models for brain tumours which use the Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres pathway
Background A hallmark of cancer cells is the ability to programmed cell death, ultimately resulting in uncontrolled growth of tumour cells. One of these mechanisms is immortalisati...
What impact does social care involvement under Section 17 or Section 47 have on children’s mental health and educational outcomes?
It is often assumed that social care involvement under Sections 17 and 47 will be beneficial for children’s mental health and education.However, besides for children taken into car...
Cooperating with the future: Children's sustainable behaviour in resource dilemmas
The world faces an environmental and climate crisis and a global transformation towards sustainable resource use is urgently needed.Cooperation is crucial for addressing this crisi...
Mapping the diversity of Type Ia supernovae explosions
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are the explosive luminous deaths of accreting white dwarfs (WD) in binaries.They play a vital role in chemical enrichment, galaxy feedback, and were in...
Politics of Otherness in Contemporary Concert Dance: (In)visibilities on Stage and the White Gaze
This research addresses the experience of Otherness in Swiss contemporary concert dance, exploring the mechanisms of othering/exclusion.Drawing on the under-representation of Black...
Children as Agents of Cultural Evolution
Cultural evolutionary theory is quickly gaining traction as a unifying framework for the social sciences.However, research into culture acquisition paints a picture of children as...
Flexible Attosecond Soliton Transients for Extreme Resolution
Ultrafast laser pulses allow us to follow fundamental processes such as chemical reactions and electron transport at their natural timescale.Because optical (ultraviolet, visible o...
Re-cleaneable SERS devices for Personalised Health and Environmental sensing
We have invented an optical enhancement technique based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) using self-assembled gold nanostructures that can fingerprint a wide range of bi...
NEXt generation activity and travel behavioUr modelS: Bringing together choice modelling, ubiquitous computing and data science
The mobility landscape is undergoing rapid changes with the advent of new technologies and the growing complexities of travel patterns. NEXUS focuses on developing next-generation...
Understanding Cardiac Progenitors to deliver Regenerative Medicine and Disease Modelling
Cardiovascular disease, including damage to heart muscle, kills more people worldwide than any other illness. The cardiovascular research community aims to solve this by tackling i...
