Biologging for marine megafauna conservation: animal tracking, environmental monitoring, and modelling approaches.
Marine megafauna face ongoing threats from human activities, including fishing pressure, habitat destruction, and climate change. Biologging—the use of electronic tags to study animal movement, behaviour, physiology—has emerged as a critical tool for understanding animal ecology and informing …

Molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of beta-cell viability by Signal Regulatory Protein-Alpha (SIRPα)
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is characterised by pancreatic β-cell demise, resulting in a requirement for permanent insulin therapy. Pro-inflammatory cytokine pathways, acting via STAT1 and STAT2, contribute to β-cell death whereas anti-inflammatory mechanisms (operating via cytokines such as …

Mechanisms of Metastatic Spread of Breast Cancer to the Brain
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), in which the tumour cells lack estrogen and progesterone receptors, and the HER2 protein, accounts for approximately 15% of all breast cancers and tends to have a younger onset and higher metastasis risk …

Enabling the Development of Sustainable Aquaculture in Qatar
Achieving food security is a major global challenge for the growing human population. Aquaculture offers a promising solution, and it is expanding rapidly; however, aquatic production systems are highly susceptible to a number of challenges including disease emergence. In Qatar, aquaculture is …

Skeletal muscle mass, function, and metabolic regulation between menopause stages in moderately active mid-life females
This research aimed to determine the effect of menopause stage on skeletal muscle mass, strength and function and to evaluate the response to resistance exercise training between pre-, peri and post-menopausal mid-life females. Seventy one moderately active pre-, peri, and post-menopausal females …

Defining the genetic and molecular pathways underlying motor neuron degenerative diseases
Motor neuron degenerative diseases (MNDs) are a large group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous life-limiting disorders. MNDs are characterised by the progressive degeneration of upper and/or lower motor neurons. Unfortunately, there are currently no universal biomarker assays or …

Characterising the functional homology of central nervous system drug targets in larval zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in aquatic environments at concentrations ranging from ng/L to mg/L, yet their potential impacts on non-target organisms remain poorly understood. Central nervous system (CNS)-targeting drugs are of particular concern because they are designed to act at low …

Drug induced tolerance mechanisms of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans
Candida albicans is a fungal pathogen that already has described mechanisms of resistance. Here we describe mechanisms of drug tolerance.<p></p>

The Evolutionary Dynamics of Conflicts of Interest in Plant Mating Systems
The diversity of flowering plants -angiosperms- on planet Earth is nearly matched by the diversity of mating systems and floral traits they exhibit. Since Darwin evolutionary biologists have been fascinated by this diversity and worked to explain and understand it. In this thesis I focus on aspects …

WE-MOVEO Audience Innovation and the Democratization of Data
This thesis investigates how audience data can be reimagined as an ethical, interpretable, and creator-centred resource for independent filmmaking within the contemporary platform economy. While commercial streaming platforms generate extensive behavioural analytics to optimise engagement and …
