Bacteriophage taxonomy: A continually evolving discipline (2023)
Book Chapter

While taxonomy is an often underappreciated branch of science, it serves very important roles. Bacteriophage taxonomy has evolved from a discipline based mainly on morphology, characterized by the work of David Bradley and Hans-Wolfgang Ackermann, to...

A non-faradaic impedimetric biosensor for monitoring of caspase 9 in mammalian cell culture (2023)
Journal Article

Lower yields and poorer quality of biopharmaceutical products result from cell death in bioreactors. Such cell death is commonly associated with programmed cell death or apoptosis. During apoptosis, caspases are activated and cause a cascade of event... Read More about A non-faradaic impedimetric biosensor for monitoring of caspase 9 in mammalian cell culture.

An evaluation of faecal transport swabs using the swab elution method in accordance with approved standard CLSI M40-A2 (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Introduction Efficient absorption, transportation and release of specimens from faecal transport swabs are characteristics that commercial swabs must possess to be compliant with the M40-A2 criteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare... Read More about An evaluation of faecal transport swabs using the swab elution method in accordance with approved standard CLSI M40-A2.

NanoBiT‐ and NanoBiT/BRET‐based assays allow the analysis of binding kinetics of Wnt‐3a to endogenous Frizzled 7 in a colorectal cancer model (2023)
Journal Article

Background and Purpose: Wnt binding to Frizzleds (FZD) is a crucial step that leads to the initiation of signalling cascades governing multiple processes during embryonic development, stem cell regulation and adult tissue homeostasis. Recent efforts... Read More about NanoBiT‐ and NanoBiT/BRET‐based assays allow the analysis of binding kinetics of Wnt‐3a to endogenous Frizzled 7 in a colorectal cancer model.

Workshop on viral genomics and taxonomy (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

How many of us have isolated and sequenced a phage, gotten reads back from the sequencing facility and thought "What now?" How can I assemble the data, and should I use an automated pipeline (DFAST, RASTtk, PHANOTATE) to annotate the genome, or shall... Read More about Workshop on viral genomics and taxonomy.

The in situ production of aquatic fluorescent organic matter in a simulated freshwater laboratory model (2022)
Journal Article

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is ubiquitous throughout aquatic systems. Fluorescence techniques can be used to characterize the fluorescing proportion of DOM, aquatic fluorescent organic matter (AFOM). AFOM is conventionally named in association wit...

Gut bacteria promote proliferation in benign S/RG/C2 colorectal tumour cells, and promote proliferation, migration and invasion in malignant HCT116 cells (2023)
Journal Article

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health burden with a rising incidence worldwide. Distinct bacterial populations are associated with CRC development and progression, and it is thought that the relationship between CRC and associated gu...

Determination of the relative sensitivity of polyaniline inks and films to deprotonation by ammonia using UV–Vis spectroscopy (2023)
Journal Article

The deprotonation behavior of conducting polymers such as polyaniline (PANI) is an important functional parameter in the design of novel printed electronic devices, particularly for sensors and energy storage. PANI can be fabricated into films from p... Read More about Determination of the relative sensitivity of polyaniline inks and films to deprotonation by ammonia using UV–Vis spectroscopy.

Diversity and inclusion: Creating a culture of equity in the biosciences (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Abstract: Globally, science remains exclusive and inequalities continue for minoritised communities in the UK, US and across the world. Access to learning resources, quality of learning experiences and graduate outcomes continues to impact minoritise...

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of the biofilm-degrading Pseudomonas phage Motto, as a candidate for phage therapy (2024)
Journal Article

Infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are becoming increasingly difficult to treat due to the emergence of strains that have acquired multidrug resistance. Therefore, phage therapy has gained attention as an alternative to the treatment of pseu...

Computational modelling of dynamic cAMP responses to GPCR agonists for exploration of GLP-1R ligand effects in pancreatic β-cells and neurons (2024)
Journal Article

The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a class B G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which plays important physiological roles in insulin release and promoting fullness. GLP-1R agonists initiate cellular responses by cyclic AMP (cAMP) pathway...
