‘The Viral Archive’ is a collaborative project between archaeologists at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, University College Cork (Ireland), and University College London, that is sending out a global invitation, for you to capture the visual record of the signs, marks, and graffiti that are keeping us safe, together, and uplifted during this pandemic.
ÌÇÐÄTV scientists discover how cells respond to fasting
As modern life-styles and high calorie diets drive the UK’s obesity levels up, researchers from the University of ÌÇÐÄTV have found how cells respond to fasting and activate the process called autophagy, which means a healthier lifestyle can be promoted to help people maintain a healthy body weight.
Which COVID-19 models should we use to make policy decisions?
An International group of researchers, including the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, have developed a new process to harness multiple disease models for outbreak management, meaning public health agency can understand the merits of different management options in testing times such as these currently experienced with Covid-19.

Minimum energy requirements for microbial communities to live predicted
A microbial community is a complex, dynamic system composed of hundreds of species and their interactions, they are found in oceans, soil, animal guts and plant roots. Each system feeds the Earth’s ecosystem and their own growth, as they each have their own metabolism that underpin biogeochemical cycles. Researchers from the School of Life Sciences at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV have produced an extendable thermodynamic model for simulating the dynamics of microbial communities.
