Generation of a novel in vitro system to investigate the effect of aging on the articular cartilage | Biomedicine | Musculoskeletal Biology

Mia Mohammed’s postgraduate research, supervised by Dr Giovanna Nalesso, examines the development and validation of a novel in vitro model to characterise the effects of aging on the composition and function of the extracellular matrix in the articular cartilage.

Computational analysis for cardiac rhythm abnormalities in horses | Clinical Physiology | Veterinary Medicine

Funded by the Petplan Charitable Trust and led by Dr Kamalan Jeevaratnam, this pioneering project involves the use of computational algorithms for the analysis of electrocardiograms taken from horses.

Development of a novel in-vitro model for cardiac ageing | Clinical Physiology | Veterinary Medicine

Dr Jeevaratnam has worked on developing an ECM in-vitro model that can be used to seed varying cardiac cell types (e.g. atria cells, ventricular cells, fibroblast) that will allow the study of the implications of an ageing scaffold on the physiological properties of these cells.

Sentimental audio memories in dementia care | Music and Media

Researchers have demonstrated the value of recorded sounds for inducing positive mood changes, triggering memory and conversation in people with dementia and their family carers. The project, led by Professor David Frohlich, is examining soundscapes representing happy or peaceful memories. 2019-20.
