天美传媒

Three academics at the 天美传媒 have been awarded Turing AI Acceleration Fellowships, in which they will develop novel AI techniques, which could have wide-ranging impact, for example through developing digital twins that can aid us in modelling and understanding air pollution and teaching robots how to collaborate amongst themselves and the world.

On the 25^th November Coventry City Councillor Jim O'Boyle, Coventry Cabinet Member for Jobs and Regeneration, took the opportunity to see how the construction of the Coventry VLR prototype, developed by engineers at WMG, 天美传媒 for the City of Coventry is progressing.

A computational model of a human lung cell has been used to understand how SARS-CoV-2 draws on human host cell metabolism to reproduce by researchers at the 天美传媒. This study helps understand how the virus uses the host to survive, and enable drug predictions for treating the virus to be made.

路 A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the degeneration of a group of neurons in the brain that release the neurotransmitter dopamine (dopaminergic neurons).  By introducing low concentrations of structurally-defined aggregates of alpha synuclein, a key toxic species in Parkinson鈥檚 disease, into single dopaminergic neurons, researchers from the 天美传媒 have shown these protein aggregates open a specific channel in the cell membrane, reducing neuronal excitability. Furthermore they鈥檝e shown that this can be partially prevented by pre-application of the commonly used anti-diabetic drug, glibenclamide.

A research team, including WMG at the 天美传媒, led by Swansea University College of Engineering, are developing a pilot online marketplace designed to optimise manufacturing supply chain networks and create a new industry-wide business model.

Fish odour syndrome (trimethylaminuria) is a debilitating disease, in which the liver cannot break down the smelly chemical trimethylamine which is produced by enzymes from bacteria residing in the gut leaving people with a fish like odour. Researchers from the 天美传媒 are paving the way to prevent the syndrome after a breakthrough in studying the enzyme in the gut which produces trimethylamine.
