...research in the design school is investigating people mending their clothes and how to encourage it to extend garment life...How many of your socks have holes in them? Have you ever thrown away a t-shirt just because it had a tiny hole? Or maybe tossed out a pair of trousers because a button popped off? If you have – you're not alone. The truth is most of us were never...

...from understanding the function of a gene by generating genetically modified animals or cells, to gene therapy, drug research, and even agriculture. More importantly yet, the use of genome editing continues to grow and it is likely that these technologies will accelerate research, leading to important scientific breakthroughs in years to come. More on genome editing...

...Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, so I do research and I’ve become really interested in citizen science because I care about the science that can be done, and by engaging lots of people over a long term, you can do science, over vast scales, across the country and for many, many decades. And it can be sustainable in a way that isn’t sustainable when relying upon...

...research is increasingly showing the importance of these microbiomes for the correct functioning of the human body and for maintaining health. In fact, disruption to these microbiomes can lead to a number of long-term health conditions, such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, some cancers and some mental health disorders. The gut microbiome is the largest and...

...research away from a strategy based purely on potency against the isolated target protein. It begins with practical, multidisciplinary, laboratory work leading to the identification of candidate molecules that are evaluated in large multinational clinical trials. The escalating costs are mirrored by the increasing demand for supply of the compound as development work...
