Fasting before Intra-Gastric Dosing with Antigen Improves Intestinal Humoral Responses in Syrian Hamsters (2024)
Journal Article

Oral vaccines, unlike injected, induce intestinal secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) mimicking our natural defense against gut pathogens. We previously observed sIgA responses after administering the Clostridioides difficile colonisation factor CD0873...

Towards Development of a Non-Toxigenic Clostridioides difficile Oral Spore Vaccine against Toxigenic C. difficile (2022)
Journal Article

Clostridioides difficile is an opportunistic gut pathogen which causes severe colitis, leading to significant morbidity and mortality due to its toxins, TcdA and TcdB. Two intra-muscular toxoid vaccines entered Phase III trials and strongly induced t...

Mimicking native display of cd0873 on liposomes augments its potency as an oral vaccine against clostridioides difficile (2021)
Journal Article

Mucosal vaccination aims to prevent infection mainly by inducing secretory IgA (sIgA) antibody, which neutralises pathogens and enterotoxins by blocking their attachment to epithelial cells. We previously demonstrated that encapsulated protein antige...

Experimental characterisation and computational modelling of cyclic viscoplastic behaviour of turbine steel (2019)
Journal Article

Fully reversed strain controlled low cycle fatigue and creep-fatigue interaction tests have been performed at ±0.7% strain amplitude and at three different temperatures (400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C) to investigate the cyclic behaviour of a FV566 marten...

Systemic in vivo delivery of siRNA to tumours using combination of polyethyleneimine and transferrin–polyethyleneimine conjugates (2015)
Journal Article

Materials for delivery of oligonucleotides need to be simple to produce yet effective in vivo to be considered for clinical applications. Formulations of biomaterials based on combinations of existing demonstrated polymeric gene carriers with targete...
