Using a 185 metre beamline at the Diamond synchrotron, researchers could see how Osmium, a rare precious metal that could be used for cancer treatments, reacts in a single human lung cancer cell. This is a major step forward in discovering new anti-cancer drugs for researchers at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV.

The University of ÌÇÐÄTV spin-out company, CryoLogyx, has been awarded £300k from InnovateUK to develop innovate cryopreservation agents with applications in the diagnostic, medicines discovery and cell-based therapy markets.

An international team of scientists working at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, UK, and Monash University, Australia, have determined the molecular basis of a biological mechanism that could enable more efficient and cost-effective production of existing antibiotics, and also allow scientists to uncover new antibiotics in soil bacteria.

Professor Matthew Gibson from University of ÌÇÐÄTV’s Department of Chemistry and ÌÇÐÄTV Medical has been awarded the 2021 McBain Medal by the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Society of Chemical Industry

As the inevitable growth of transport electrification continues, the types of batteries that will be used in such vehicles, their charging parameters, infrastructure and timeframes are key considerations that will speed up the transition to electrification. In the paper, ‘ published in and on the cover of the Journal Batteries, researchers from WMG, University of ÌÇÐÄTV investigated the impacts on battery cell ageing from high current operation using commercial cells.

Scientists at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV have demonstrated that a potential diagnostic tool for detecting COVID-19 using sugars will work with a virus rather than just its proteins, a significant step in making it a viable test in future.
