Journal Article
Dedman, E., Hua, S., & Kungwal, T. (2022). Why Do UK Firms Repurchase Their Own Shares?. International Journal of Banking, Accounting and Finance, 13(2), https://doi.org/10.1504/IJBAAF.2022.126155

We examine the practice of share repurchases in the UK. We find that an important regulatory reform in 2003, which relaxed previously strict rules about repurchases, was followed by a significant increase in repurchase activity by UK listed firms. Ho...

Cysteamine Inhibits Glycine Utilisation and Disrupts Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2021)
Journal Article
Fraser-Pitt, D. J., Dolan, S. K., Toledo-Aparicio, D., Hunt, J. G., Smith, D. W., Lacy-Roberts, N., …O’Neil, D. A. (in press). Cysteamine Inhibits Glycine Utilisation and Disrupts Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 11, https://doi.org/10.3389/fcimb.2021.718213

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic human pathogen which employs a myriad of virulence factors. In people with cystic fibrosis (CF) P. aeruginosa frequently colonises the lungs and becomes a chronic infection that evolves to become less v...
