Concentration or composition that is the question! How do exogenous fatty acids contribute to changes in metabolic flexibility of skeletal muscle?

Using Real-Time Cell Metabolic Analysis to establish how physiological and pathophysiological concentrations of FA impact mitochondrial function, capacity and substrate utilisation in human skeletal muscle cells.


The Blended Diet Study: the perceived benefits and risk of using a blended diet with children and young people with complex health needs and enteral feeding requirements

The use of a blended diet as an alternative to prescribed formula feeds has provoked strong opinion in research and among professionals. The aims of the report will be to examine the evidence for best practice with regards to providing a blended diet via gastrostomy tube.


Teenage Cancer Trust North-West Pilot Site Evaluation: A participatory action research project in the NW of England evaluating Teenage and Young Adult cancer services

Coventry University were tasked with providing a  longitudinal evaluation of the Teenage Cancer Trust's pilot scheme in the North West. 


Using novel computational modelling approaches to address biased agonism at the Adenosine A1 receptor

We seek to apply cutting-edge advanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations to address the complex biological issue of how G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transition between multiple active states.


InoCardia: Novel human-cell based assay for assessment of cardiovascular liability

The aim of this project was to test the concept of a higher throughput functional cardiac cell contractile assay under truly physiological conditions, advancing information on how the heart behaves functionally and enabling the testing of inotropic drugs in these conditions.


Using movement and story telling to enhance motor and cognitive development in preschoolers

This study sought to pilot an innovative intervention for pre-schoolers whereby movement is linked to storytelling in a fun and accessible manner.


Evaluation of the Shuttletime Programme

This project examined the effect of engaging in the BWF Shuttle Time programme, compared to traditional Physical Education, on children's current and future engagement in sport and physical activity and health.

The MyWay Project

A randomised controlled feasibility trial of a tailored digital behaviour change intervention with e-referral system to increase attendance at NHS Stop Smoking Services


Development of a uterine electrohysterogram system to predict preterm labor

Preterm labor which occurs in ~10% of pregnant women is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. However, unsatisfactory and inaccurate diagnosis of preterm labor is an immense clinical challenge to the obstetricians.


Inkjet-printed respiratory rate wearable sensors for infants: Towards remote monitoring for low-setting villages and refugee camp

The monitoring of infants respiratory rate can contribute to the identification of several health problems and life threats. However, it is still the least documented and monitored parameter due to the shortage in advanced and user-friendly monitoring sensors/systems.
