Molecular hydrogen: Is this a viable new treatment for plants in the UK? (2021)
Journal Article

Despite being trialed in other regions of the world, the use of molecular hydrogen (H2) for enhanced plant growth and postharvest storage of crops has yet to be widely accepted in the UK. The evidence continues to grow that treatment of plants and pl... Read More about Molecular hydrogen: Is this a viable new treatment for plants in the UK?.

Paper-based lateral flow device for the sustainable measurement of human plasma fibrinogen in low-resource settings (2021)
Journal Article

Fibrinogen concentration is a major determinant of both clotting and bleeding risk. Clotting and bleeding disorders cause extensive morbidity and mortality, particularly in resource-poor and emergency settings. This is exacerbated by a lack of timely...

Primary mesenchymal stromal cells in co-culture with leukaemic HL-60 cells are sensitised to cytarabine-induced genotoxicity, while leukaemic cells are protected (2021)
Journal Article

Tumour microenvironments are hallmarked in many cancer types. In haematological malignancies, bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) protect malignant cells from drug-induced cytotoxicity. However, less is known about malignant impact on su...

Shedding smart light on the effectiveness of chemotherapy: using Raman spectroscopy and machine learning to differentiate the effects of Cytarabine toxicity and crosstalk of leukaemic and bone marrow stromal cells (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) protect leukaemic cells from drug-induced toxicity within the bone marrow niche, with increasing evidence of leukaemic impact on supportive stroma. The nucleoside analogue, cytarabine (ara-C), is a front-line agent for...

Use of machine learning-enabled scenario-based teaching in Haematology and Biomedical Science, as a replacement and supplement to traditional tools and in-person teaching during COVID-19 (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

One of the biggest challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic has been maintaining student engagement and providing the best learning experience with limited face-to-face (FTF) contact, and social distancing requirements. Whilst multiple tools are avail...
