Investigating Host-Microbial Interactions after Bariatric Surgery (EnteroBariatric)

Date du début: 1 août 2017, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2022,

Obesity and related co-morbidities give rise to severe health and socioeconomic problems. Surgical treatment for obesity (bariatric surgery) is remarkably effective in the control of morbid obesity and rapid resolution of Type 2 Diabetes, and the number of such procedures is increasing rapidly in many obesity-prevalent countries. We, and others, have demonstrated that surgical interventions such a ...

Quantifying behavioural phenotype space: chemistry-to-gene screens and combination therapies (PHENOSPACE)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2016, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2021,

A central goal of precision medicine is to tailor treatments for individuals based on their genomic sequence. However, many common diseases are associated with mutations in multiple genes and drugs often interact with multiple targets, making it difficult to go from genome sequence to drug selection. Spontaneous locomotion in the nematode C. elegans provides a model to address fundamental question ...

Hybrid Digital-Analog Networking under Extreme Energy and Latency Constraints (BEACON)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2016, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2021,

The objective of the BEACON project is to (re-)introduce analog communications into the design of modern wireless networks. We argue that the extreme energy and latency constraints imposed by the emerging Internet of Everything (IoE) paradigm can only be met within a hybrid digital-analog communications framework. Current network architectures separate source and channel coding, orthogonalize user ...

Gromov-Witten Theory: Mirror Symmetry, Birational Geometry, and the Classification of Fano Manifolds (GWT)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2016, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2021,

The classification of Fano manifolds is a long-standing and important open problem. Fano manifolds are basic building blocks in geometry: they are 'atomic pieces' of mathematical shapes. We will take a radically new approach to Fano classification, combining Mirror Symmetry (a circle of ideas which originated in string theory) with new methods in geometry and massively-parallel computational alg ...

Smouldering megafires are the largest and longest-burning fires on Earth. They destroy essential peatland ecosystems, and are responsible for 15% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. This is the same amount attributed to the whole of the European Union, and yet it is not accounted for in global carbon budgets. Peat fires also induce surges of respiratory emergencies in the population and dis ...
