Our immune response is usually a defensive mechanism, although it is well known that in people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), concomitant inflammation accelerates and exacerbates the disease. This is mediated by the brain’s main resident macrophage p...
Piloting the collection of geographic information from Longitudinal Population Studies for future climate-health research
There is potential to explore the impacts of climate on human health by combining existing datasets monitoring population health over years and climate datasets for the same times and areas. To achieve this, researchers need to know the geographic ar...
Nursing shift patterns in acute, community and mental health hospital wards: a feasibility study and survey
Funded by NIHR ARC Wessex, the aim of this research is to provide evidence to support decision making about deployment of nursing shift patterns on acute, mental health and community hospital wards in England. To do this we will:1) Understand how shi...
Quantifying the Impacts of Trophic Diversity in Marine Ecosystems
In terrestrial ecosystems, it is quite straightforward to tell the difference between a plant and an animal. This difference seems so clear as to be obvious, but in recent decades, marine scientists have begun to reveal that in the ocean such distinc...
