Virtual patient educational programme to teach counselling to clinical pharmacists: development and proof of concept (2019)
Journal Article
White. (2019). Virtual patient educational programme to teach counselling to clinical pharmacists: development and proof of concept. BMJ Simulation and Technology Enhanced Learning, 167-168. https://doi.org/10.1136/+bmjstel-2018-000352

Pharmacist–patient counselling can benefit patients and optimise care, but appropriate training is required. A virtual patient (VP) tool to teach pharmacists non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant counselling was developed; the VP may be used for continuin...

Screening a library of approved drugs reveals that prednisolone synergizes with pitavastatin to induce ovarian cancer cell death (2019)
Journal Article
Abed, M., Khanim, F., Richardson, A., & Abdullah, M. (2019). Screening a library of approved drugs reveals that prednisolone synergizes with pitavastatin to induce ovarian cancer cell death. Scientific reports, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-46102-1

The survival rate for patients with ovarian cancer has changed little in the past three decades since the introduction of platinum-based chemotherapy and new drugs are needed. Statins are drugs used for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular...

UBR5 is a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in skeletal muscle hypertrophy and recovery from atrophy. (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). UBR5 is a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in skeletal muscle hypertrophy and recovery from atrophy. The Journal of Physiology, 3727-3749. https://doi.org/10.1113/JP278073

We aimed to investigate a novel and uncharacterised E3 ubiquitin ligase in skeletal muscle atrophy, recovery from atrophy/injury, anabolism and hypertrophy. We demonstrated an alternate gene expression profile for UBR5 versus well characterised E3-li...

A systems biology approach uncovers cell-specific gene regulatory effects of genetic associations in multiple sclerosis. (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). A systems biology approach uncovers cell-specific gene regulatory effects of genetic associations in multiple sclerosis. Nature communications, 2236 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-09773-y

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 50,000 unique associations with common human traits. While this represents a substantial step forward, establishing the biology underlying these associations has proven extremely diffic...

Antifungal screening and in silico mechanistic studies of an in-house azole library (2019)
Journal Article
Reynisson. (2019). Antifungal screening and in silico mechanistic studies of an in-house azole library. Chemical Biology & Drug Design, https://doi.org/10.1111/cbdd.13587

Systemic Candida infections pose a serious public health problem with high morbidity and mortality. C. albicans is the major pathogen identified in candidiasis, however non-albicans Candida spp. with antifungal resistance are now more prevalent. Azol...
