Researchers at the Institute of Photonics and Department of Physics at the University of Strathclyde have developed a patented technology of benefit to the semiconductor industry. This technology relates to gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor devices which are most familiar as high brightness blue a...

This novel technology provides attenuated Rift Valley fever viruses (RVFV) for use as vaccines and for the treatment and/or prevention of viral diseases and/or infection. Applied to RVFV (a member of the Phlebovirus genus of the Bunyaviridae) our technique results in modified, genetically distinct a...

Our imager operates at millimetre wavelengths which result in sub-surface temperature images/maps high spatial and thermal resolution recorded from useful depths below the skin surface. This technique simply records the natural emission of the human body and there is no active illumination of the su...

Optical microfluidic sorting will allow biological or other matter to be sorted or fractionated by criteria including size, shape, density and refractive index. The technique may have the ability to sort matter from the scale of macro-molecules all the way up to large cells. In addition to the techn...

Bacterial cell-surface glycoconjugates are essential for survival of pathogenic bacteria and for interactions between bacteria and the host. Consequently, there is reason to believe that inhibitors directed against targets in the assembly of the cell-surface glycoconjugates may provide viable altern...

Some picornaviruses can cause mild illnesses, such as the common cold whilst others can give rise to serious conditions of the central nervous system, heart, skeletal muscle and liver.This assay allows the evaluation of new drug candidates to inhibit an interaction which is essential for picornavira...
