Diversity and inclusion: Creating a culture of equity in the biosciences (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Adukwu, E. (2023, September). Diversity and inclusion: Creating a culture of equity in the biosciences. Presented at Bioscience Education Summit 2023, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK

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...

A non-faradaic impedimetric biosensor for monitoring of caspase 9 in mammalian cell culture (2023)
Journal Article
Chen, B., Kiely, J., Luxton, R., & Williams, I. (2023). A non-faradaic impedimetric biosensor for monitoring of caspase 9 in mammalian cell culture. Bioelectrochemistry, 153, Article 108456. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108456

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.

British Journal of Pharmacology, https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.16090

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.

Turner, D., Adriaenssens, E. M., & Kropinski, A. M. (2022, June). Workshop on viral genomics and taxonomy. Presented at Viruses of Microbes 2022, Guimaraes, Portugal

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.
