Conference Proceeding
Figueredo, G. P., Shi, P., Parkes, A. J., Evans, K., Garibaldi, J. M., Negm, O., …Robertson, J. (2019). A Hybrid Evolutionary Strategy to Optimise Early-Stage Cancer Screening. In 2019 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) (95-102). https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2019.8790316

Current methods to identify cutoff values for tumour-associated molecules (antigens) discrimination are based on statistics and brute force. These methods applied to cancer screening problems are very inefficient, especially with large data sets with...

Positive mood on the day of influenza vaccination predicts vaccine effectiveness: A prospective observational cohort study (2017)
Journal Article
Ayling, K., Fairclough, L., Tighe, P., Todd, I., Halliday, V., Garibaldi, J., …Vedhara, K. (2018). Positive mood on the day of influenza vaccination predicts vaccine effectiveness: A prospective observational cohort study. Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, 67, 314-323. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbi.2017.09.008

© 2017 Influenza vaccination is estimated to only be effective in 17–53% of older adults. Multiple patient behaviors and psychological factors have been shown to act as ‘immune modulators’ sufficient to influence vaccination outcomes. However, the re...

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in TNF Receptor 1 (TNFR1). Current therapies for TRAPS are limited and do not target the pro-inflammatory signalling pathways tha...

Practical detection of a definitive biomarker panel for Alzheimer's disease: comparisons between matched plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (2014)
Journal Article
Richens, J. L., Vere, K., Light, R. A., Soria, D., Garibaldi, J., Smith, A. D., …O’Shea, P. (2014). Practical detection of a definitive biomarker panel for Alzheimer's disease: comparisons between matched plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. International Journal of Molecular Epidemiology and Genetics, IJMEG, 5(2),

Previous mass spectrometry analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has allowed the identification of a panel of molecular markers that are associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The panel comprises Amyloid beta, Apolipoprotein E, Fibrinogen alpha ch...
