Antibiotic resistance is an increasing battle for scientists to overcome, as more antimicrobials are urgently needed to treat biofilm-associated infections.

Two University of ÌÇÐÄTV researchers have been elected as Fellows of the British Academy in recognition of their outstanding work. Professor Rebecca Earle (History) and Professor Mark Harrison (Economics) are among 52 new Fellows announced today by the prestigious institution, which supports and promotes the humanities and social sciences in the UK and around the world.

A new e-book co-edited by award-winning economic historian Professor Mark Harrison of ÌÇÐÄTV Economics and CAGE has been published in the week of the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe.

Professor Mark Harrison from ÌÇÐÄTV’s Department of Economics is one of the experts featured this week in a new Radio 4 documentary series exploring the economic issues behind the start of World War 2.

The University of ÌÇÐÄTV has been chosen to host eleven of 2019’s Leverhulme Early Career Fellows – just under ten per cent of the national total. Early Career Fellowships are awarded to enable young researchers to undertake a research project, under the supervision of a ÌÇÐÄTV academic mentor, which will lead to publishable results and help them get a foothold on the academic career ladder.
