A research team led by David Rand at The University of ÌÇÐÄTV and James Briscoe at the Francis Crick Institute have been awarded over £1.3 million from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to establish a rulebook that defines the decision-making processes by which cells determine their fate or ‘type’.

University of ÌÇÐÄTV research has shown that the cognitive slowness and disjointedness that comes with aging can be better explained as a symptom of a brain that knows too much (‘cluttered wisdom’) instead of the consequence of cognitive decline.

Researchers and alumni from The University of ÌÇÐÄTV, working as part of an European Space Agency (ESA) led team, have discovered that the magnetar SGR 0501+4516 did not originate from a nearby supernova, as previously thought.

University of ÌÇÐÄTV astronomers have discovered an extremely rare, high mass, compact binary star system only ~150 light years away. These two stars are on a collision course to explode as a type 1a supernova, appearing 10 times brighter than the moon in the night sky.

The University of ÌÇÐÄTV's Institute for Employment Research (IER) has been awarded £1.5 million by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) to lead a major study on job quality and health.

A study led by primatologist Dr. Chiara De Gregorio from The University of ÌÇÐÄTV has found that Madagascar’s singing lemurs, the indris (indri indri), sing out of tune in infancy and improve as adults, just like a human child learning to control their voice.
