Migration and niche partitioning simultaneously increase species richness and rarity (2013)
Journal Article
To understand species abundance distributions effectively, it is essential to consider the forces which create the overwhelmingly long 'tail' of rare species. Both neutral and niche theory have been invoked to explain the rarity of certain species in... Read More about Migration and niche partitioning simultaneously increase species richness and rarity.
The importance of methane breath testing: A review (2013)
Journal Article
Sugar malabsorption in the bowel can lead to bloating, cramps, diarrhea and other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome as well as affecting absorption of other nutrients. The hydrogen breath test is now a well established noninvasive test for assessi... Read More about The importance of methane breath testing: A review.
The use of MS for the investigation of irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease (2013)
Journal Article
Currently, the diagnosis of bowel diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) relies on invasive and expensive procedures. Identification of biomarker-based tests to aid diagnosis is an important area of resea...

Use of whole blood for analysis of disease-associated biomarkers (2013)
Journal Article
Analyses for diagnosis and monitoring of pathological conditions often rely on blood samples, partly due to relative ease of collection. However, many interfering substances largely preclude the use of whole blood itself, necessitating separation of... Read More about Use of whole blood for analysis of disease-associated biomarkers.
Smart integrated biosensor system (2013)
Journal Article
Professor Tony Killard from the University of the West of England is leading a collaborative project to develop and implement smart integrated miniturised sensor systems.
A novel bioluminescent bacterial biosensor for measurement of Ara-CTP and cytarabine potentiation by fludarabine in seven leukaemic cell lines (2013)
Journal Article
This study evaluates an in vitro biosensor assay capable of detecting the intracellular levels of the tri-phosphorylated form of cytarabine (Ara-CTP) within one working day. The biosensor predicted the response of seven leukaemic cell lines with vary...

The SYSCILIA gold standard (SCGSv1) of known ciliary components and its applications within a systems biology consortium (2013)
Journal Article
The multinational SYSCILIA consortium aims to gain a mechanistic understanding of the cilium. We utilize multiple parallel high-throughput (HTP) initiatives to develop predictive models of relationships between complex genotypes and variable phenotyp...

ZAP-70 Phosphorylation and other prognostic factors in adult B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia patients (2013)
Thesis
Abstract B chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) is a disease with an enormously heterogeneous prognosis. Due to lack of effective treatments and the heterogeneity in its course, B-CLL has remained largely incurable. In the last two decades a number...

Direct measurement of ammonia in simulated human breath using an inkjet-printed polyaniline nanoparticle sensor (2013)
Journal Article
A sensor fabricated from the inkjet-printed deposition of polyaniline nanoparticles onto a screen-printed silver interdigitated electrode was developed for the detection of ammonia in simulated human breath samples. Impedance analysis showed that exp... Read More about Direct measurement of ammonia in simulated human breath using an inkjet-printed polyaniline nanoparticle sensor.
Application of a printed silver-based electrocatalyst for H2O2 reduction to the determination of cholesterol (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Many current clinical disorders such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, coronary artery disease and cerebral thrombosis are associated with abnormal levels of cholesterol in blood. Therefore, the development of a reliable and simple method for choles... Read More about Application of a printed silver-based electrocatalyst for H2O2 reduction to the determination of cholesterol.

Taking a breath for better health (2013)
Journal Article
What does your breath say about you? It might tell the world (or at least anyone at close quarters) that you didn’t brush your teeth this morning, or that you ate garlic last night. But there might also be other, subtle and important clues in there a... Read More about Taking a breath for better health.
Temperature response of denitrification rate and greenhouse gas production in agricultural river marginal wetland soils (2013)
Journal Article
Soils are predicted to exhibit significant feedback to global warming via the temperature response of greenhouse gas (GHG) production. However, the temperature response of hydromorphic wetland soils is complicated by confounding factors such as oxyge...

LGR5 promotes survival in human colorectal adenoma cells and is upregulated by PGE2: Implications for targeting adenoma stem cells with nsaids (2013)
Journal Article
Cyclooxygenase-2 is overexpressed in the majority of colorectal tumours leading to elevated levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), promoting many hallmarks of cancer. Importantly, PGE2 is reported to enhance Wnt/β-catenin signalling in colorectal carcino...

Comparative antimicrobial activities of aerosolized sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and electrochemically activated solutions evaluated using a novel standardized assay (2013)
Journal Article
The main aim of this study was to develop a standardized experimental assay to enable differential antimicrobial comparisons of test biocidal aerosols. This study represents the first chlorine-matched comparative assessment of the antimicrobial activ...
