Researchers at the University of Hull have recently started to explore how to alleviate heat stress in women exercising in hot conditions. The work, led by Dr Andrew Garrett will investigate how females respond and adapt to hot conditions, using a short-term heat acclimation regime that they have previously, successfully, used with male participants only (http://theconversation.com/elite-training-in-hot-conditions-for-competition-in-cooler-climates-a-hot-topic-45012). The facility is important...

The Physical Sciences Data-science Service is a National Research Facility which brings together tools and resources for UK researchers in physical sciences, including chemistry, crystallography, materials and related fields. It provides access to web-based data services are which are freely accessible for academic users from the UK.

Dementias Platform UK Data Portal  (DPUK Data Portal) holds detailed information on more than 2 million individuals from over 50 long-term health studies, known as cohort studies.

By joining data from all these cohort studies, we provide a secure, integrated and collaborative environment, where scientists from academia and industry can share knowledge and conduct joint research programmes, subject to strict governance permutations.

The portal is the technology hub of Dementias Platform UK...

New 'omic' technologies have transformed biology by allowing scientists to read genomes (genomics) and to measure the amount of proteins (proteomics) or other chemicals (metabolomics) within living cells and organisms. Tiny amounts of DNA can be collected from the environment (environmental DNA, eDNA) to measure biodiversity and monitor the health of our soils, rivers and seas. This creates a tremendous opportunity to understand the diversity of different individuals and species within the...

The Liverpool Magnetic Resonance Imaging Centre (LiMRIC) is part of Liverpool Shared Research Facilities (LIV-SRF) at the University of Liverpool.

UH HPC provides high-performance computing facilities to research staff and students at UH and to a community of collaborators nationally and internationally, including externally funded consortia such as LOFAR-UK and WEAVE. It aims to facilitate both medium-scale HPC requirements (with around 5,000 compute cores) and high-throughput data processing (with around 2 PB of attached fast storage). Applications include computational fluid dynamics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, 'big...

The Cambridge Immunology Network is a  community for immunologists working in and around Cambridge. It builds on a rich tradition of immunological research in Cambridge, and brings together groups whose work ranges from discovery of the basic molecular mechanisms underpinning the immune response through to applications relevant to the clinic, to industry and to global health. Working across disciplines, schools, institutes and departments we can tackle bigger problems and answer more fundamental...

The National Centre for Population Health & Wellbeing Research (NCPHWR) carries out research to improve the health and well-being of people in Wales.

We have two main research areas:

• • Healthy development – understanding the causes and consequences of ill-health, disease, injury and well-being with a focus on giving children and young people a healthy start in life and reducing inequalities.
  • Healthy ageing – improving physical activity and well-being in the general population, key...
