A predictive model for COVID-19
Supported by the Medical and Life Sciences Research Fund, Research Scientist Emma Braybrook at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire will use data from Covid-19 patients to monitor, characterise and ultimately predict Covid-19 pathology and devise intervention strategies. The proposal uses extensive expertise and facilities at the hospital and Warwick University to improve disease understanding and management.
A novel system to use bacteriophages as tools to detect bacteria
The Medical and Life Sciences Research Fund is supporting this collaboration between Warwick University Schools of Engineering and Life Sciences to use bacteriophages as tools to detect bacteria. This novel and potentially effective system could help developing countries and those who lack access to advanced biomedical testing facilities with a cheap and rapid device for the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial infections.
