Connects-UK launches to foster scientific collaborations between EU and UK researchers in a post-Brexit era

10 April 2024

Connects-UK, a new pan-European network dedicated to advancing scientific collaborations between researchers in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK), was officially launched at an event in London yesterday. The network, led by a diaspora of EU researchers working in the UK, seeks to bridge the gap created by Brexit and ensure that collaboration, innovative research, funding, and knowledge exchange continue to thrive in the post-Brexit era.

New study reveals how T cells gain and maintain tolerance to gut bacteria

4 April 2024

The immune system in the intestine maintains a careful balance, tolerating our long-term resident (commensal) gut bacteria while defending against invading pathogens. Under certain circumstances, dysregulation of our intestinal immune response to commensal and pathogenic microbes can drive inflammatory disease.

New framework guides the use of AI for clinical diagnosis

25 March 2024

NDORMS researchers have conducted a review of the literature on the use of AI in clinical decision-making. Published in the Lancet the study identifies why AI has not yet been taken up more widely, and provides a framework to better inform future adoption and integration of the technology.

Removing bias from healthcare AI tools

22 February 2024

Rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have opened the way for the creation of a huge range of new healthcare tools, but to ensure that these tools do not exacerbate preexisting health inequities, researchers urge the use of more representative data in their development.

Frozen shoulder holds the key to understanding fibrosis resolution

19 February 2024

NDORMS researchers have identified how cells work to resolve frozen shoulder, opening up potential new targets for treatment and reducing the need for surgery.

New research improves accuracy of molecular quantification in high throughput sequencing

5 February 2024

A team at NDORMS has developed a new approach to significantly improve the accuracy of RNA sequencing. They pinpoint the primary source of inaccurate quantification in both short and long-read RNA sequencing, and have introduced the concept of “majority vote” error correction leading to a substantial improvement in RNA molecular counting.
