Projects
Amorphous Computation, Random Graphs and Complex Biological Networks
Seth Bullock (Investigator)
This interdisciplinary research collaboration arose within the Simple Models of Complex Networks research cluster funded by the EPSRC www.epsrca.ac.uk through the Novel Computation Initiative. Here, leading groups from the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Southampton, Royal Holloway and King’s College and industrial partners BT are brought together for the first time to develop novel amorphous computation methods based on the theory of random graphs.
Imprinting Disorders Finding Out Why
Karen Temple (Investigator)
We are conducting a research project to determine the cause and clinical impact of widespread imprinting aberrations in human development. We are recruiting patients with possible or definite imprinting disorders (due to methylation loss or gain at an imprinted loci)
including Silver Russell syndrome, Transient Neonatal diabetes, Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome, Angelman syndrome Prader Willi syndrome, UPD 14 syndromes and Pseudohypoparathyroidism.
Tissue Engineering
Tiina Roose (Investigator)
This project deals with applying mathematical and computational modelling techniques to answer questions that are useful for tissue engineering applications.
µ-VIS Computed Tomography Centre
Ian Sinclair, Richard Boardman, Dmitry Grinev, Philipp Thurner, Simon Cox, Jeremy Frey, Mark Spearing, Kenji Takeda (Investigators)
A dedicated centre for computed tomography (CT) at Southampton, providing complete support for 3D imaging science, serving Engineering, Biomedical, Environmental and Archaeological Sciences. The centre encompasses five complementary scanning systems supporting resolutions down to 200nm and imaging volumes in excess of one metre: from a matchstick to a tree trunk, from an ant's wing to a gas turbine blade.
