Journal Article
Horne, K. L., Viramontes-Hörner, D., Packington, R., Monaghan, J., Shaw, S., Akani, A., …Selby, N. M. (2023). A comprehensive description of kidney disease progression after acute kidney injury from a prospective, parallel-group cohort study. Kidney International, 104(6), 1185-1193. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2023.08.005

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with adverse long-term outcomes, but many studies are retrospective, focused on specific patient groups or lack adequate comparators. The ARID (AKI Risk in Derby) Study was a five-year prospective parallel-grou...

The association between prescription drugs and vaccines commonly prescribed to older people and bullous pemphigoid: a UK population-based study (2023)
Working Paper
Swiderski, M., Vinogradova, Y., Knaggs, R., Harman, K., Harwood, R., Prasad, V., …Gran, S. (0000). The association between prescription drugs and vaccines commonly prescribed to older people and bullous pemphigoid: a UK population-based study

Introduction Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a serious skin disease that results in large painful blisters developing over the body and occurs most commonly in older people (over 70 years). Despite several comorbidities such as stroke and a threefold inc...

Linear Binary Classifier to Predict Bacterial Biofilm Formation on Polyacrylates (2023)
Journal Article
Contreas, L., Hook, A. L., Winkler, D. A., Figueredo, G., Williams, P., Laughton, C. A., …Williams, P. M. (2023). Linear Binary Classifier to Predict Bacterial Biofilm Formation on Polyacrylates. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 15(11), 14155-14163. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.2c23182

Bacterial infections are increasingly problematic due to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Consequently, the rational design of materials naturally resistant to biofilm formation is an important strategy for preventing medical device-associated i...
