Discovery New research projects are continually launched creating an exciting and challenging environment for staff and students, as well as shaping our future. Some of our current projects include:
• Our Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification uses state-of-the- art forensic science techniques and facial reconstruction to generate images and models from human remains. Most recently the team was the focus of the BBC 2 four part series – History Cold Case – where they also used historical detective work to build a picture of a man’s life - and death; giving him his face back for the first time in 800 years.
• •
Our Mathematics and Medical Researchers are using mathematical modelling to gain better understanding into cancer development and treatment.
Researchers in the Centre for Environmental Change and Human Resilience (CECHR) are working on a number of projects including assessing climate change and impacts on the quality and quantity of water, and considering models of decentralised electricity supplies.
•
The Division of Plant Sciences is researching into a process called `alternative splicing’ which could have implications for our understanding of how plants and crops adapt to climate change.
