Heparin monitoring: From blood tube to microfluidic device (2012)
Book Chapter

Heparin anticoagulant therapy has been pivotal in both the treatment and prophylaxis of thrombotic disease for many decades. It remains standard practice to monitor unfractionated heparin (UFH) therapy due to its unpredictable pharmacokinetics. The a...

A system for the continuous generation of simulated human breath supplemented with trace gases (2012)
Journal Article

A system was developed to simulate the relative humidity (RH) and temperature characteristics of human breath at a constant human volume flow rate. The system was also designed to allow supplementation of the artificial breath with known concentratio...

An operative method to obtain sharp nonlinear stability for systems with spatially dependent coefficients (2012)
Journal Article

This paper explores an operative technique for deriving nonlinear stability by studying double-diffusive porous convection with a concentration-based internal heat source. Previous stability analyses on this problem have yielded regions of potential...

Novel electrode reactions of diazepam, flunitrazepam and lorazepam and their exploitation in a new redox mode LC-DED assay for serum (2012)
Journal Article

Previously unreported voltammetric redox behaviour was identified for flunitrazepam, lorazepam and diazepam at a glassy carbon electrode. This was successfully exploited for their determination in serum by high performance liquid chromatography dual...

Investigating mechanisms for non-linear genotoxic responses, and analysing their effects in binary combination (2012)
Journal Article

A recent shift by the scientific and regulatory community, towards accepting the existence of non-linear dose responses for certain DNA reactive genotoxic agents, has unveiled a myriad of questions regarding their biological basis. The mechanisms res... Read More about Investigating mechanisms for non-linear genotoxic responses, and analysing their effects in binary combination.

Development of a sandwich format, amperometric screen-printed uric acid biosensor for urine analysis (2012)
Journal Article

A screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) incorporating the electrocatalyst cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC), fabricated using a water-based ink formulation, has been investigated as the base transducer for a uric acid biosensor. A sandwich biosensor was... Read More about Development of a sandwich format, amperometric screen-printed uric acid biosensor for urine analysis.

Triple-negative breast cancer and PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue)loss are predictors of BRCA1 germline mutations in women with early-onset and familial breast cancer, but not in women with isolated late-onset breast cancer (2012)
Journal Article

Introduction: Given that breast cancers in germline BRCA1 carriers are predominantly estrogen-negative and triple-negative, it has been suggested that women diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) younger than 50 years should be offered B...
