¹û¶³´«Ã½

The public science festival, Pint of Science, is coming to Coventry for the first time this year, with experts from the Universities of ¹û¶³´«Ã½ and Coventry talking about their research work in a selection of pubs and venues around the city.

Professor Laura Green OBE, Deputy Pro Vice Chancellor (Research) at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, has been appointed to the Council of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).

Scientists from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ will be helping to promote an important public health message about tuberculosis (TB) this weekend in Coventry.

New work from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ shows how a microscopic ‘railway’ system in our cells can optimise its structure to better suit bodies’ needs.

Cyanobacteria - which propel the ocean engine and help sustain marine life – can shift their colour like chameleons to match different coloured light across the world’s seas, according to research by an international collaboration including the ¹û¶³´«Ã½.

Future cancer drugs that are activated by light and don’t cause the toxic side-effects of current chemotherapy treatments are closer to becoming a reality, thanks to new research made possible by the Monash ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Alliance, an intercontinental collaboration between the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ (UK) and Monash University (Australia).
