Chelsea Brown, a PhD student with Professor Phill Stansfeld and Dr Liz Fullam, has published a first author paper on tackling Tuberculosis (TB) by modelling mycobacterial membranes. TB rivals covid-19 as the biggest infectious disease killer of humans, claiming millions of lives each year. Now, ground-breaking research from the Universities of Warwick and Toulouse has identified a new method to help tackle this global issue.

Katie Mortimer, a Biomedical Science student who graduated in 2021, recently published a paper from the results of her third year project. The project on 'Impact of antihypertensive and antihyperlipidaemic drugs on neuronal stem cell function’ with Professor Johannes Boltze led to a first author publication in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience.
Read the paper.

Congratulations to Adrian Racovita, a fourth year BioMedical Science Mbio student, for his achievements over the last year.

• In March 2020, Adrian won Best Presentation at the Posters in Parliament (PiP) competition for his poster entitled 'Bacterial Neural Networks: Evolutionary Game Theory' (photo above).
• In August, he published a first author paper in Biochemical Society Transactions on 'Reinforcement learning in synthetic gene circuits'.
• Adrian also published a first author paper in the conference proceedings of the International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA) on 'Bacteria mastering the tic-tac-toe game through synthetic adaptive gene circuits'. 
• In December, with the Jaramillo group, Adrian presented at The 1st International BioDesign Research Conference on 'Engineering adaptive gene circuits in bacteria mastering game playing by reinforcement learning'. Find out about the conference
• Adrian has also been commissioned by the Science Committee of the Romanian Academy to write an article.
