Our research affects the world in many ways. See how we're making an impact on society here. Policy for Improved Air Quality Research provides the scientific evidence base to improve air quality measurement standards and drive policy action on air pollution. Reducing Cardiovascular Damage from Dialysis Research has opened up the possibility of new therapies that use complement-control protein factor H (FH) to prevent damage to human cells. Next generation thermal energy storage for net zero Compact thermal storage combined with affordable, renewable energy is critical for achieving global decarbonisation. Advanced Chemical Analysis of Dyes in Historical Textiles For over 20 years, Professor Alison Hulme has collaborated with partners in heritage institutions in the UK and worldwide to bring cutting-edge analytical chemistry insight to the study of historic dyes, enhancing the conservation and interpretation of valuable artefacts. Mining the scrapheap: Sustainable chemical methods to save critical elements from e-waste School of Chemistry researchers are developing new methods to sustainably recover technologically critical metals from old electronics. Biocatalyst-driven synthesis of essential industrial chemicals The Campopiano Group, with industrial collaborators Ingenza, a spin out from the School of Chemistry, are advancing their breakthrough biocatalytic route for the sustainable production of Guerbet lipids towards commercial viability. Healthy Peatlands Dr Nicholle Bell and group are pioneering the use of powerful techniques from analytical chemistry to understand, at the molecular level, how peatlands store carbon, and make sure that millions of pounds in restoration investment is effectively used.
