Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a debilitating disease that has a 5-year survival rate of only 44%, making it the fifth most lethal cancer in women. A major reason for this low survival rate is the high rate of metastasis, where cells detach from the primary tumour site on the ovary and reattach at secondary […]

The serine/threonine kinase AKT1 is a key mediator of cell growth and survival processes including glucose metabolism, apoptosis, transcription, proliferation, and migration. AKT1 is activated by phosphorylation at two key regulatory sites, Threonine308 and Serine473, that are both used as clinical diagnostic markers for cancer. AKT1 also plays an important role in glucose metabolism by […]

Envisagées dans une perspective historique, certaines séries télé sur l’art plébiscité par leurs publics de masse aux États-Unis, en France et en Grande-Bretagne et dont le rayonnement s’est poursuivi au-delà de leur diffusion d’origine, ont participé à la construction et la diffusion de discours d’histoire de l’art auprès du plus grand nombre. Cette étude s’attarde […]

In response to the present Covid-19 pandemic and the need to decarbonize the transport sector, city leaders and communities are rethinking past assumptions regarding transport planning and infrastructural development and have renewed interest in promoting cycling as a sustainable transport mode. Infrastructural interventions that improve safety and comfort and widen access to cycling are necessary […]

Primary Objective: In this pilot project, in the short term, we propose to explore the risks associated with noise overexposure in music practice, to test innovative prevention strategies and to develop an auditory assessment protocol that responds to the specific or expressed needs of musicians and to test its feasibility (e.g. duration, number of sessions, […]

The Salvation Army currently works in 132 countries, promoting international development, disaster relief, health care, education, anti-trafficking/anti-slavery work, and women’s ministries throughout the world. How did a small British outreach develop into a world-wide humanitarian organization? My proposed research will examine The Salvation Army’s global expansion from 1880-1918 by studying the Booth family. Much research […]

After severe skin injury such as burns, our body rapidly but imperfectly repairs the damage, leaving behind a stiff scar. Scarring is a clinical burden because skin is losing vital functions. If scars form in internal organs, e.g., in the heart after myocardial infarct, the outcome can be lethal. During normal tissue repair, local fibroblasts […]

My research seeks to identify species that are valuable socially and ecologically to fishers in Chilika (a coastal fishing community in India). To achieve this, I will interview fishers from three ecologically diverse communities to ask what fish are important for (but not limited to) nutrition, livelihoods, culture, biological communities. I will observe how this […]

Ce projet analyse les liens qui lient les mouvements indépendantistes européens à l’Union européenne. Plus précisément, il s’agit de comprendre pourquoi les mouvements indépendantistes européens cherchent à protéger leur lien à l’Union européenne dans leur quête de souveraineté. Ce projet analyse donc les raisons stratégiques qui poussent le mouvement indépendantiste écossais à vouloir ramener l’Écosse […]
