ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

The public science festival, Pint of Science, is coming to Coventry for the first time this year, with experts from the Universities of Warwick and Coventry talking about their research work in a selection of pubs and venues around the city.

Professor Laura Green OBE, Deputy Pro Vice Chancellor (Research) at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, has been appointed to the Council of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).

Scientists from the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ will be helping to promote an important public health message about tuberculosis (TB) this weekend in Coventry.

New work from the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ shows how a microscopic ‘railway’ system in our cells can optimise its structure to better suit bodies’ needs.

Cyanobacteria - which propel the ocean engine and help sustain marine life – can shift their colour like chameleons to match different coloured light across the world’s seas, according to research by an international collaboration including the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½.

Future cancer drugs that are activated by light and don’t cause the toxic side-effects of current chemotherapy treatments are closer to becoming a reality, thanks to new research made possible by the Monash Warwick Alliance, an intercontinental collaboration between the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ (UK) and Monash University (Australia).
