John Curtin’s research focuses on the functional analysis of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism’s (SNPs) that may play a role predisposing children to develop asthma and allergies. In addition John Curtin is investigating the role of epigenetics in the development of Asthma and Allergies.

My research focuses on molecular design and processing of polymeric materials for biomedical applications. Studies currently underway include:
- hydrogels as biocompatible materials. They possibly contain or deliver biologically active substances and they may be degraded either by cell activity or by aspecific chemical reactions.
- Colloids, such as nanoparticles, vesicles (liposomes) and micelles, which are able to circulate in body fluids and to respond to environmental factors for obtaining a responsive release of bioactive components.

My research currently involves improving the accuracy and precision of regional cerebral blood flow estimates as derived from [15O]-water PET scans of the human brain using the HRRT PET scanner. I am based at WMIC on the Christie Hospital site in Withington.
Blog post by Maria. My research focuses on increasing exercise and physical activity levels in the transition period of retirement. Specifically, I have looked at the attitudes and beliefs of community dwelling 'young' older adults from White and South Asian groups as the first step to developing interventions which improve the uptake of and subsequent maintenace of physical activity amoung this cohort of adults.

My research involves a combination of empirical and computational methods to investigate the neural processing which subserves human vision. In particular, I am interested in the brain's use of motion information arising on the retina during self-movement. I have a further, secondary research interest in human reasoning and decision making.

My research seeks to identify the biological mechanisms that are responsible for the increased risk of uterine cancers in obese women. It is anticipated that better understanding of the biology may lead to disease biomarkers, tools for earlier diagnosis and aid preventative strategies.
