Volatile silicon compounds and their effects on indoor air quality
This research project examines the effect of volatile silicon compounds on indoor air quality.
The key research questions in this project are:
A range of deficits can cause children difficulty in understanding speech in challenging situations, like classrooms. Currently, it is difficult to determine the cause of these difficulties. Deficits in auditory processing, speech processing, language processing, or cognition, present in similar manners and can be difficult to test for separately.
A systematic approach to differentiate between these causes has been devised. This project will contribute to our understanding of how these novel tests relate to one another and are influenced by basic underlying processes.
This Manchester-based project will investigate the relationship between the tests of a new clinical test battery for the assessment of listening difficulties in school-aged children in a typically-developing population of school-aged children. The project will also collect normative data sets for children in the UK and Australia.
By first understanding underlying relationships between the levels of the test, this project will allow for this clinical test-battery to be implemented into clinical practice including for the potential establishment of a university service in Manchester.

This research project will study how the protein netrin-1 helps colorectal cancer cells resist therapy.
This research project aims to investigate human-river interactions in urban areas.
This research project aims to characterise p97, an ATPase with essential roles in many cellular processes.
