Coronavirus lockdowns put pause to Russell Davies鈥� Doctoral Recognition Award-winning PhD research into the gut microbiome and the interactions between nutrition, physical activity and metabolism.

A further gift of 拢10,000 from donor and alumnus Ian Tarr has enabled Russell to extend his studies alongside his work as a healthcare assistant.

Russell says:

鈥淚t has been a very valuable experience. I鈥檓 happy to be able to do something to support the NHS after the rough time we鈥檝e all been through.鈥�

Gentoo penguins were originally thought to be one species, but research by PhD scholar Josh Tyler from our Milner Centre for Evolution has revealed that they are in fact four separate species, which will help in conservation.

Josh says:

鈥淭he continued support from the Evolution Education Trust has given me peace of mind during the last 12 months that I will be able to complete my PhD to a high standard, despite the setbacks experienced through Covid-19.鈥�

Meat consumption has a huge impact on our environment 鈥� and supply is also a concern as our planet鈥檚 population grows. Professor Marianne Ellis is working to address this by developing methods of scaling up production of cultured meat in large bioreactors, to make it cheaper and more widely accessible.

Her team includes three PhD students 鈥� Scott Allan, Allison Esperanza and Lily Westerhoff 鈥� supported by non-profit research institute New Harvest.

In February 2021, we celebrated Professor Carole Mundell鈥檚 appointment as Hiroko Sherwin Chair in Extragalactic Astronomy.

Thanks to a gift from longstanding supporters Jim and Hiroko Sherwin, a postdoctoral role has been created in Carole鈥檚 research group. The post has been taken up by Dr N煤ria Jordana, a former Sherwin PhD in Astrophysics scholar. In autumn 2020, N煤ria won the Royal Astronomical Society鈥檚 poster competition.

Dr Gege Ma鈥檚 research, supported by an RCH PhD Scholarship, has uncovered potential applications of contactless electrical impedance tomography (CEIT) in both industry and medicine 鈥� particularly in detecting breast cancer. CEIT is cheaper and more portable than current methods, and avoids the use of radiation.

She says:

鈥淪upport from donors provides reassurance that what we do is valuable. They鈥檝e shown great trust in this project. Thank you!鈥�

Dr Jennifer Maher, Medlock Fellow in Clinical Exercise Rehabilitation, explores how high-intensity interval training can help patients with acute spinal injuries to maintain cardiometabolic health upon returning home from hospital.

Her work is supported by a gift of 拢100,000 from the Medlock Charitable Trust, as well as a grant from the National Institute for Health 69色情片, and is being carried out in partnership with the Duke of Cornwall Spinal Treatment Centre in Salisbury.
