The role of bacteria in the skin: Cold atmospheric plasma for the treatment of pathological skin healing Apr 1, 2017 - Mar 31, 2020
Chronic wounds remain a major area of unmet clinical need, with infection a principle contributing factor to wound chronicity. This project builds upon strong preliminary data suggesting that healing outcome can be directly linked to both wound micro...

The effect of corticosteroids on the release of immune modulating factors from Graves’ disease tissue maintained using microfluidic culture. Jun 1, 2017 - May 31, 2018
Graves’ disease (GD) affects approximately 2% of adult women. Current treatments for GD include anti-thyroid drugs, radioiodine therapy and surgery, of which none tackle the underlying pathogenic process. Immunosuppressive agents are therefore of gro...

LIPS: A prospective registry-based cohort study to monitor the diagnosis and management of acute leukaemia in pregnancy Jun 1, 2018 - Feb 28, 2022
Acute leukaemia (AL) is an aggressive but potentially curable cancer that can affect women of childbearing age. When a pregnancy is complicated by a diagnosis of AL, clinicians face a complex dilemma: to balance risking the mother’s survival through...

EA Fisheries Framework Aug 1, 2009 - Mar 31, 2022
One of the major problems encountered at Environment Agency and Internal Drainage Board (IDB) pumping stations is the entrainment of fish and eels during pump operation. The extent of the problem and the proportion of fish and eels that are damaged o... Read More about EA Fisheries Framework.

CLL Research Jan 26, 2015 - Dec 31, 2028
Translational research project utilising prospective sample collection from patients attending the Haematology Clinic, Hull university Teaching Hospital Trust, to facilitate research within the University of Hull.

Can prevention of the activation of PAR2 prevent the release of procoagulant microvesicles from cancer cells, reduce the risk of VTE and contain the deterioration of the vasculature? Jul 1, 2015 - Jun 30, 2020
The study aims to demonstrate the indirect effect of Apixaban on suppressing the release of pro-inflammatory, pro-coagulant tissue factor-containing microvesicles, by inhibiting factor Xa and preventing the activation of PAR2. The study also demonstr...

Training scientists to develop and Image materials for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (iTERM) Oct 1, 2013 - Sep 30, 2017
With an increasingly aging population, new treatment solutions for diseased, defective, or damaged tissues need to be developed. Although human donor material would be preferable for these purposes, this is often not available and often associated wi...
