Post-Doctorate Research Assistant in Bioinformatics
Steve Kelly Lab, the Department of Plant Sciences
University of Oxford
I develop and apply computational methods which address various biological questions by analysing high-throughput datasets, especially the comprehensive and collective cluster analysis of multiple genome-wide transcriptomic (gene expression) datasets. I handle the entire analysis pipeline including fetching data from repositories, pre-processing and normalisation, differential expression analysis, cluster analysis using the algorithms which I developed, numerical and biological validation, biological reasoning of the results by enrichment tools, comparison with the literature, presenting and discussing results in conferences and meetings with biological/biomedical colleagues or collaborators, drawing hypotheses, writing and submitting manuscripts, and contributing to grant applications.
Currently I work in Steve Kelly's laboratory at the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Oxford, within the C4 Rice Project which aims to improve photosynthetic efficiency in rice and thus to enhance crop yields. Click for details.
Previously (Summer 2011 to June 2016), I was in the group of Professor Asoke Nandi at the University of Liverpool as a PhD student, and then moved with him to Brunel University London as a PhD student and then as a research assistant. In that group I worked in the analysis of breast cancer in collaboration with Professor Adrian Harris (The Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (WIMM), the University of Oxford), erythropoiesis in collaboration with Professor David Roberts and colleagues (John Radcliffe Hospital, the University of Oxford), budding yeast, and E. coli bacteria. I also performed preliminary analysis of malarial data in collaboration with Professor Taco Kooij (Radboud University, the Netherlands). Additionally, I participated in the analysis of fMRI brain data with my colleague, Chao Liu, and in collaboration with Professor Elvira Brattico (Aarhus University, Denmark).
During that, I developed a sophisticated framework for the analysis of multiple transcriptomic datasets collectively and almost automatically with the minimum need of manual intervention to set parameters. The framework's pipeline comprises of two main methods run in order: (1) the unification of clustering results from multiple datasets using external specifications (UNCLES), and (2) the M-N scatter plots technique. The methods are freely available in the R package UNCLES downloadable from here.
I have a published research monograph book, seven journal articles, and fourteen peer-reviewed full-length articles in international conferences' proceedings.
My CV is available here.

By 2006, when Diane Patrick challenged an entrenched incumbent for the state representative seat in Arlington's District 94, she had served 11 years on the Arlington school board, four as its president, and four years on the State Board of Education.
She had been active in her community since she and her husband, dentist Ned Patrick, moved there in 1973.
Now Patrick, 68, is the four-term incumbent facing a determined challenger in the March 4 Republican primary. Early voting is Tuesday through Feb. 28.
Tony Tinderholt, 43, retired last year after 21 years in the military, having served in the Air Force and, after 9-11, the Army. His Army service included a year of combat duty in Iraq.
Tinderholt says he and his wife give back to their community through volunteer work with Spirit of Hope, Catholic Charities, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and St. Jude Medical Center.
His military service is impressive, and the people of District 94 should be grateful to him and all the other men and women who have sacrificed so much and served their country so well.
That's not the same as voting for Tinderholt as the person to represent District 94 in Austin.
Far and away, Patrick is the better person for that job. Her extensive experience in public office, meeting the needs of her constituents one-on-one and as a group and working with other members of the House to meet the needs of the state, makes her a valuable representative.
On his website, Tinderholt speaks about stopping overspending, securing the border, being pro-life, defending the Second Amendment and fighting Obamacare, all buzzwords to attract conservatives.
His only specific policy suggestion is a reference to private school vouchers.
Patrick, a lifelong educator, helped pass powerful, conservative education reforms last year. She's vice chairwoman of the House Higher Education Committee, an influential leadership post where she can help look out for the interests of UT Arlington.
Her biggest challenge is voter complacency. Constituents know her and trust her. They must go vote for her.
The Star-Telegram Editorial Board recommends Diane Patrick in the Republican primary for House District 94.

Arsenal overcame their Swansea City hoodoo as they drubbed them 3-2 at Ashburton Grove on Saturday evening.
Despite going two goals up early in the game, they struggled to kill off the game as it looked as though the visitors might claw themselves back into the game until the final whistle.
The win marks Arsenal's sixth consecutive victory in the Premier League and takes them to second in the standings, level on points with leaders Manchester City.
As discussed in Swansea game's Burning Questions article, the Gunners have capitalised on the fellow-title contenders' tough set of fixtures to climb up the table, and here are the five talking points from the very game.
Was Granit Xhaka a liability?
Swansea had three shots on target in the final 20 minutes despite managing just three prior to Granit Xhaka's sending off on 70 minutes.
His absence was profound as the hosts lacked his Aaron Ramsey-esque late runs; his 'bright red card' resulted in Arsenal being subjected to mammoth pressure that in turn saw them let the visitors create numerous chances in the dying minutes.
The Swiss international has definitely been a shrewd addition as evidenced by his stunners, inch-perfect tackles, incredible passing range, and overall reading of the game; however, he should tone down his aggression greatly as Arsenal looked handicapped after he was given marching orders, especially on the break.
Why Theo Walcott should keep up the momentum
At the back of his brace at Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening, Theo Walcott became the British player with most league goals this season.
With seven goals and two assists nine starts, he is enjoying a purple patch of form, and his confidence on the ball showed his upturn in form is not a flash in the pan.
After inviting criticism when he jumped over Younes Kaboul in April to avoid a potential return to the injury table, the England international has now come as far as outmuscling a taller and heavier defender in Jordi Amat before hitting the net.
Whilst his positioning underlined his maturity, his composure on the ball for either goal highlighted his newfound confidence.
Can Swansea beat the drop?
Bob Bradley's English football debut failed to produce the result Swansea head honchos wanted, but the Swans can still turn things around.
Swansea now sit 19th in the table, with only Sunderland rivaling their poor record in the league; however, they have already faced stronger oppositions such as Chelsea, Leicester City, Liverpool, and Manchester City, besides Arsenal.
With their next two games being against Watford and fellow-relegation battling Stoke City, they should claims maximum points at all costs as a tricky fixture against Manchester United follows those two games.
Bradley's inexperience on the English football arena may cost them their chances of securing television deal monies, but they definitely boast the talent required to finish above the relegation places.
Why the Swansea win is hugely significant
In a game that saw Alexis Sanchez have no shot on target, Arsenal managed to beat their former goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski thrice.
The Chilean produced a rather subpar performance as his bad decisions often led to the club missing out on creating easy clear-cut chances.
Besides, last season's hero Mesut Ozil, despite scoring the decisive goal, also produced a rather underwhelming display and was wasteful throughout the second half.
The three goals and the win underlines Arsenal's minimal reliance on their alleged contract rebels.
In addition, the sixth consecutive win in the league should also boosts their mental strength, and the Arsenal manager himself acknowledged the importance of keeping up the momentum they had generated since the defeat to Liverpool on the opening day.
Was the Swansea game a walk in the park?
Arsenal dominated for the better part of the game, but Xhaka's individual error that led to Gylfi Sigurdsson's opening goal meant Swansea fancied their chances of replicating their success they have had at the Emirates in the recent past.
Arsenal have struggled greatly against any team that get physical, but Bradley's men seldom pressed the men in red and white.
Consequently, the Gunners were at ease although the result screams a close –fought battle.

I had a wonderful spring break last week, and I thought I would share a little of what we did. The kids did not have break (they have it this week), but Ryan and I were able to spend a lot of time both getting things done and also spending extra time with the kids when they got home from school. It was so nice to be able to drop off and pick up the kids from school:
I also decided to do some mama pampering, so I met up with my friend Leah for a manicure and a pedicure. Now I have lovely lilac nails :) We went out to lunch (Ryan joined us), and then after we picked up the kids from school, we took them to county park to do some geocaching. Here are some pics:
|Notice the text with it?
Tuesday after school we surprised the kids and took them to the movie theater to see Zootopia. It was great! The kids loved it. Well, Caden was the one who saw the entire movie; Lilli was asleep for the last half hour:
Wednesday I worked on Easter baskets while the kids were at school. They love fishing at Grandma and Grandpa's house in the summer, so we decided on tackle boxes this year instead of baskets. I tried to fill them with "fishing themed" things.Swedish fish candies:
I also had to throw in some more traditional candy as well. These eggs from Costco were so beautiful:
Thursday the kids had a snow day, so they were able to enjoy sleeping in. After we went to a couple of appointments we had (which we made before we knew there would be a snow day for the kids), the kids and I did some arts and crafts while Daddy worked on some work. I worked on a project for the Master Bedroom. I have been trying to figure out what to put on the wall behind our bed, and I was able to finally get it done. I like it:
We also hosted Easter at our house on Sunday, so we worked to make sure the house was in order for that. Check out how cute our fireplace looks:
|See the bunnies below the mantel?
|Yes, my kids are goofballs...
Here are all of the kids before the Easter Egg hunt:
|At least we can see all of their faces :)
Here they are in the middle of the hunt:
I have some other things that I was able to accomplish during the week, and I will share those with you later this week :)
Until later!

text: The Archbold Evangelical Church (AEC) is a spiritual family that finds its greatest sense of identity around our statement of faith. One of our statements is our belief that the Bible is God's Word to all people. From this belief comes our priority of teaching and preaching as a means of working with the Holy Spirit to bring about spiritual life and spiritual formation in people. We work hard to explain, interpret, and apply the Word of God so it is accessible, ineligible, and understandable to people. We preach expositionally which means each Sunday the point of the sermon is the point of the passage of Scripture. The majority of our sermon series are us working through a whole book of the Bible section by section. Our hope is that people who worship with us, who accept AEC as their spiritual family will over a short period of time be shaped by the whole counsel of God.

MLB Team Report - Toronto Blue Jays - INSIDE PITCH
The gripe du jour about the Blue Jays is the lack of quality at-bats. You hear the term about the hitters needing to have more grinding at-bats a lot.
Nobody is suggesting that Edwin Encarnacion should give back his first-pitch, three-run homer on in the sixth inning of Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, however. He was first-pitch swinging on Miguel Gonzalez, who was frequently throwing first-pitch fastballs that often were called first strikes.
The hitters are having their problems, there's no question. They are tight, trying too hard.
That was not the case Wednesday, however, when Maicer Izturis drew a bases-loaded walk off Baltimore Orioles' closer Jim Johnson with two outs in the top of the 11th inning to give Toronto a 6-5 victory.
But making the hitters' job that much more difficult is the propensity for the pitching to put the team in an early hole. When the Orioles reached knuckleball pitcher R.A. Dickey for four runs in the second inning Tuesday, it was the 15th time in their 21 games that the opposing team has scored first. That makes hitters who are pressing, press that much more. The Blue Jays are 3-12 in those games.
It's okay to cut Dickey some slack. His upper back was still hampering him in Tuesday's start. He has had upper back spasms that forced him from his win last Thursday against the Chicago White Sox in the sixth inning, even though he had allowed only two hits.
He wasn't hit hard Tuesday, either.
"That second inning was a very quirky inning," Dickey said. "Not a lot of hard contact."
He skipped the usual between starts bullpen session to allow the back some rest and he did not show signs of discomfort on the mound Tuesday but he said he was not at his best. But he limited the damage after the second and lasted for six innings.
"I'm definitely not 100 percent," Dickey said. "I'm giving everything I can possibly give but it feels like going to battle with a three-shooter instead of a six-shooter. You just don't have what you normally have. You feel like what you have is good enough to keep your team in it. But it's frustrating because you want to give more."
Not a lot has gone right for the Blue Jays so far. Shortstop Jose Reyes is out for three months with a sprained ankle and third baseman Brett Lawrie and right fielder Jose Bautista have missed several games each because of injury.
They don't need to have to worry about an injury problem with Dickey as well.
And they don't need their starting pitchers to keep allowing early runs while their own hitters are scuffling.
MLB Team Report - Toronto Blue Jays - NOTES, QUOTES
STREAK: Won one
NEXT: Blue Jays (Mark Buehrle, 1-0, 5.87) at Yankees (Hiroki Kuroda, 2-1, 2.35)
--DH Adam Lind missed Wednesday's game on paternity leave. His wife is expecting the birth of their second baby. Lind had reached base in eight of Toronto's last nine games before leaving.
--LHP Mark Buehrle will be making a second consecutive start against the New York Yankees. He's pitched much better in his last two starts after giving up 11 earned runs in just 9 2/3 innings in his first two.
--RHP Ramon Ortiz was designated for assignment before Wednesday's game. LHP Aaron Laffey got put on to the 25-man roster and filled that spot.
--C J.P. Arencibia homered in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Orioles. That was his eighth this season, and he's now gotten five homers in his last 10 games.
--CF Colby Rasmus needs five more hits to reach 500 for his career. He went 0-for-3 in his last game, the finale of the series with Baltimore.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It would have been a tough game to lose. It would have been easy to shut it down and quit competing. But they hung in there (and) got a big, big win. We needed that." -- Manager John Gibbons after the Blue Jays' extra innings win vs. Baltimore on Wednesday.
MLB Team Report - Toronto Blue Jays - ROSTER REPORT
--RHP Sergio Santos (strained right triceps) was put on the disabled list April 15. An MRI showed a flexor pronator muscle strain. He will not throw for a week and then will be re-evaluated.
--SS Jose Reyes (severe left ankle sprain) went on the 15-day disabled list April 13, and he was transferred to the 60-day disabled list on April 23. He was checked out by a specialist in Charlotte, N.C., on April 16 and it was confirmed that he does not require surgery, but he is not expected back until July.
--RHP Michael Schwimer (right lat strain) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 22. There was no set date for his return.

Sumner Redstone Pledges $18M Gift to BU School of Law
Media giant and Boston native Sumner M. Redstone (Hon.'94) has given BU a landmark $18 million gift to support the construction of a new School of Law building adjacent to LAW's present facility on Commonwealth Avenue. The new facility will be named the Sumner M. Redstone Building.
"This gift comes at a pivotal moment in the history of our School of Law, and it will have a tremendous impact in two ways," President Robert A. Brown commented. "First, it will permanently link the School with the Redstone name, which will forever set a high standard for our work in legal education and scholarship. And second, it means that our long-deferred dream of transforming the School of Law campus can now begin with the groundbreaking for this new building."
Scott Nichols, BU's senior vice president for development and alumni relations, said the gift would both jump-start large-scale improvements at the Law School and result in a "first-rate building for a first-rate program."
A history of philanthropy
Redstone is the executive chairman of both CBS Corporation and Viacom Inc. He is a far-ranging philanthropist, having contributed more than $130 million to a wide variety of worthy charities around the world.
A former School of Law faculty member, Redstone was the first BU academic to introduce a course on entertainment law, and pioneered the School's curriculum for protecting intellectual property rights in the entertainment industry, which continues to be among the School's strengths. He received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from BU in 1994.
"The Boston University School of Law is a hub of legal scholarship and academic achievement," Redstone said at a BU ceremony celebrating his gift. "It's my hope that this beautiful building, and I must say it has a pretty good name, will serve students for many years to come."
Connecting to BU
Redstone's connections with BU reach beyond his teaching stint. His daughter and business partner, Shari Redstone, is a 1978 and 1981 graduate of the Law School, and Redstone's teaching assistant at BU, Tad Jankowski (LAW'82), became general counsel of National Amusements, the theatrical exhibition company owned by the Redstones. Redstone also inaugurated the annual Redstone Film Festival at BU, which is now in its 32nd year; many of the film world's best-known directors, screenwriters, and producers have been Redstone winners.
Located west of the BU Law Tower on Commonwealth Avenue, the Redstone Building will provide a new entrance to the Law School, and will house most of the School's classrooms. It will also provide space for the expansion of the School's library and contain facilities to support clinical, transactional, and executive and professional education programs.
The BU School of Law was founded in 1872 and is nationally recognized for its premier teaching faculty and academic strengths in health law, intellectual property, and tax law. Enrolling more than 800 students from across the country, the Law School offers an expansive legal curriculum and extensive hands-on learning opportunities.
2 Comments on Sumner Redstone Pledges $18M Gift to BU School of Law
Congratulations to the BU community!
As a San Franciscan, I'm familiar with
Mr. Redstone's generosity and fine
business sense. BU has a wonderful partner.

The Google I/O conference has seen the first unveiling of a working version of Spotify on an Android handset.
A video of the music streaming application was shown during the San Francisco-based event to an overwhelmingly positive response from attendees.
The clip revealed that the same user-friendly interface seen on the web version is employed for the handset edition and that playlists are fully supported.
These can be created even when the user is offline, with the device then syncing the playlists when a connection is located.
By the time the application appears, it is likely to enter a market awash with Android phones, including the already available T-Mobile G1 and HTC Magic, as well as forthcoming handsets from Samsung and Sony Ericsson.
News of developments comes as Spotify founder Daniel Ek recently announced plans to incorporate a music recommendation function into the application.
Speaking at the Great Escape music conference earlier this month, Mr Ek expressed a preference for working with Last.fm and reiterated that the mobile edition of Spotify would be a paid-for application.
Subscriptions to the all-you-can-eat, advertisement-free Spotify Premium service are currently priced £9.99 per month.

But, alas I have been tagged by Brooke (http://brooke-cookiejar.blogspot.com/). So I will play along! I do love a good game now and again!
I need to share with you all eight fun facts about myself and then tag eight more people to do the same.
1) I have absolutely NO willpower or control over my consumption of Cereal. The only psuedo control I possess is to not purchase it and therefore making it much more difficult to consume it. I have been known to beg, borrow and steal it from neighbors and roommates in college! It does not matter the kind, I love it all. From Grapenuts (those little buggers multiply in milk) to Fruity Pebbles. From Raisin Bran to Apple Jacks. From Fiber One to Lucky Charms. I think you get the picture. I will eat the entire box in one sitting without even realizing it! I will eat it until the entire box is either empty or physically removed from my presence. I am so weak.
2) I love the tv show Big Love on HBO. I don't have the HBO package so I rent them from Blockbuster and have just finished season One. I can NOT wait for season Two to come out on DVD so I can once again settle into my weekend routine of popping some popcorn and settling in to watch a few good episodes. I never get sick of seeing what Nicky will buy next or Margene's next "Young Life Crisis" breakdown. Trully my fave show right now. Highly recommended.
3) I have never baked a yeast bread. I have made several loaves of quick bread and have purchased and baked many a frozen loaf of bread, but have not ever prepared the dough from scratch. It is on my "Must Do" list for the fall and winter months.
4) I have never been late a day in my life. I HATE people who are perpetually late and think their time is more important than yours. I especially hated those people in college and the professors who would wait to begin knowing some students would be coming in late. HELLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO 99% of us are here and ready to begin, I say let us leave 10 minutes early and keep those who choose to be late, stay late to get the full information from class! This only irritates more the older I get. I mean come on people, either get a watch, or check the phone: your cellphone has the time right on it you have NO excuse for always being 5-10 minutes late! UGHHHHH
5) I love all vegetables and would much rather give up all meat, fish and poultry than to give up my veggies!!
6) I really love celebrity gossip. I get excited reading and hearing about recent break-ups/hook-ups, meltdowns and weight gains/losses. I know it only perpetuates what is the trainwrecks knows as "Celebrities" but I can't help it! Maybe I should join a 12 Step program or something.
7) I idolize my mother. She does not know this and I do not tell her often enough how great she is not only as my mother, but as a human being with whom I have had the pleasure to walk this earth with.
8) I would love to join Global Volunteers and spend a week or two in Africa digging wells, teaching English to children and building houses. Time and life keep getting in the way and I make way too many excuses for not going. One day (hopefully soon) I will run out of excuses and take the plunge.

Sinless Chocolate? That is Heavenly!
So, I am never one to shy away from full fat/full calorie baked goods. I mean, come on, all that butter and sugar is what MAKES many desserts taste so darn good! Well, these little devils have sugar but are butterless and let me tell you, they deserve a place at the top of the dessert chain right along my Death by Chocolate Brownies (pic and recipe yet to be blogged about) and my Basic Blondies! I first saw this recipe a while back on a website for Weight Watcher users (I am not on WW but like to lurk around different boards). This recipe reappeared on TheNest's cooking board and I knew I had to make them. These cookies are so chocolatey, so rich and so sweet that you will swear you have died and gone to heaven. The best part is, these have all the flavor and texture as butter hoarding baked rivals but are much lower in fat, making them a fairly "sinless" dessert when looking at the alternative baked goods. I wouldn't call these a health food but I would call these little devils DELISH! Especially with a scoop of FroYo sandwiched between two of them.
Sinless Chocolate Chews
2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1 cup cocoa powder, (I used Ghiradeli unsweetened)
1 cup cocoa powder, (I used Ghiradeli unsweetened)
3 large egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, espresso powder, and cocoa. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the egg whites and vanilla with a fork.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the egg whites and vanilla with a fork.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the egg whites, and mix either by hand with a spatula or at low speed with a mixer for 2 minutes.
The batter will seem dry at first, but will become shiny and smooth as it mixes.
Cover the bowl, and refrigerate the batter for 3 hours, or up to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchement paper (or these babies will stick!) Drop the dough by balls onto the prepared baking sheets using a medium icecream scoop (like from pampered chef)
Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes or until set around the edges.
Remove them from the oven, and cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.

For the past few weeks we have been exceedingly busy in our work, completing survey of the surrounding areas, mapping and laying out trenches as well as starting excavation. The selected areas for excavation are that of living areas well as burials. These two different areas results in a variation in the type of material remains that are uncovered allowing for a more well rounded understanding of how these people went about living their daily lives.
One of the most intriguing finds uncovered from one of these living areas was these four pieces of decorated ceramic, which were once all part of one object. The decoration on this ceramic is zoomorphic, meaning it contains pictures of animals. The design here appears to have that of a jaguar or leopard. This is one of the first zoomorphically decorated pieces of ceramic to be found in this area of Naxcivan, this is considered a very important find.
Another ceramic find was encountered in the Kurgan burials. After excavating through the topsoil of one of these burials, a whole ceramic pot was found. This pot has now been handed over to the Carlos Museum conservator, Katie, who has come to the site to help conserve precious objects that are uncovered during excavation. Katie is working to rid the pot of insoluble salts that have coated the outside of the vessel, covering the painted decoration on this pot. With her meticulous work, we will be able to get a better idea of what this piece of ceramic would have looked like before it was put into the ground.
Along with all of the hard work, there is still time for fun and laughter. One of the main pick-me-ups of the season so far is the weekly vegetable mascot. While preparing dinner on break day, a lovely carrot with little nubs resembling arms was found so of course he became our very first mascot. We named him Ramon, made him a hat out of a cucumber slice and an end of another carrot, and gave him a glorious face. Throughout the week we would check on him and see how he was doing. As you would suspect, he aged quite rapidly… fabulously, but rapidly. By the next break day, we held a nice little burial for him and we have found our next mascot, Tyrone the beet.
Be sure to follow our Facebook page for more updates regarding finds and other posts!

Strategic Plan: Strategic research priority 3 – bioscience for health
Driving advances in fundamental bioscience for better health across the lifecourse, reducing the need for medical and social intervention.
The challenge
We are in a period of unprecedented demographic change, with the proportion of older people in the population increasing such that by 2050, 40% of the UK population will be over 50, and 25% over 65.
Whilst lifespan is increasing, 'healthspan' is not lengthening at the same rate. Basic bioscience understanding and its effective translation is key to increasing the ability of individuals to lead healthier lives over their lifecourse, reducing pressure on the healthcare system.
Research opportunities
Basic bioscience is vital to reveal the biological mechanisms underlying normal physiology and homeostatic control during early development and across the lifespan. We aim to achieve a deep, integrated understanding of the 'healthy system' at multiple levels, and of the factors that maintain health and wellness under stress and biological or environmental challenge. This includes research to improve our understanding of how the ageing process itself results in increased frailty and loss of adaptability in areas such as musculoskeletal, brain, immune and sensory systems, and the gastrointestinal tract, as well as to increase our understanding of the regulatory networks underlying biological rhythms.
A key research goal is to develop a greater awareness of the roles of nutrition and physical activity and the mechanisms by which they affect development and health. Given the complex nature of these relationships, systems approaches are well suited to modelling the interplay over the lifecourse between the GI tract, nutrition, food properties, microbiome, endocrinology and metabolic regulation. This includes interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the influence of behaviour and environmental interactions on health, in partnership with ESRC and other Research Councils. Knowledge of how food interacts with the body is also highly relevant to the breeding of animals and plants for food production (see also Strategic Plan: Strategic research priority 1 – agriculture and food security).
Multidisciplinary research across areas such as stem cells, engineering and materials chemistry is needed for the development of new regenerative biology and tissue engineering applications to improve quality of life for the ageing population. In partnership with the MRC and EPSRC we will continue to support the UK Regenerative Medicine Platform.
We will also support multidisciplinary studies that underpin improvements in both human and animal health. We will encourage collaboration between experts in human and veterinary sciences to improve the health and wellbeing of animals and humans in the context of 'One Health', particularly in vaccinology, infections of zoonotic origin, vector borne diseases and understanding antimicrobial resistance, linking into Strategic Plan: Strategic research priority 1 – agriculture and food security. Partnership between BBSRC and the MRC in this area will help to ensure impacts and added value are realised across the interface with medical research.
We will support bioscience research to help sustain lifelong health and wellbeing in the modern environment by building on a foundation of underpinning world class bioscience to identify novel prevention strategies or underpin new treatments. BBSRC will work closely with the MRC and other Research Councils to promote a joined-up approach to research funding across the spectrum from health to disease.
Basic bioscience funded by BBSRC underpins the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, which depend significantly on the strength of the public sector research base to maintain competitive advantage. This is especially so in the discovery and validation of new therapeutic agents and bioactive molecules, reducing cost of development and increasing efficiency of production. For example, integrated modelling of cells, tissues and associated signalling mechanisms will provide new insights to potential strategies for health monitoring and intervention, including drug targets and pharmaceuticals. In the longer term, the further refinement of virtual human metabolic networks will provide even greater increases in the efficiency of therapeutic design and development. Our funding for research and training also supports open innovation in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and emerging digital health sectors by providing expertise and skills within leading universities and research institutions, and through exploration of new collaborative models and access to resources.
2013/14 update – what's new?
- Increased emphasis on addressing the societal grand challenge of maintaining health across the whole lifecourse
- Increased prominence for research that will provide a better understanding of the mechanisms by which nutrition impacts on development and health
- Greater focus on the opportunities to support multidisciplinary studies that underpin improvements in both human and animal health and wellbeing
- Relocation of aspects of biopharmaceutical development (e.g. bioprocessing) to Strategic Plan: Strategic research priority 2 – industrial biotechnology and bioenergy
- Recognition of the need to support the translation of basic bioscience, and of the role of key partnerships to deliver impact
Key priorities
- Generate new knowledge of the biological mechanisms of development and the maintenance of health across the lifecourse
- Support greater use of resources and data from cohort studies, biobanks and longitudinal monitoring to increase the translation of research from model organisms and systems to the human population
- Improve understanding of how nutrition affects health across the lifecourse, including dietary exposure, epigenetics, and mechanisms of gut function
- Generate new knowledge to advance regenerative biology, including stem cell and tissue engineering research, and accelerate the translation into applications
- Support the multidisciplinary RCUK programme on Lifelong Health and Wellbeing, ensuring that outcomes are translated to improve quality of life
- Develop and apply new tools in areas such as chemical biology, high resolution structural analysis, 'omics, biomarkers and bioimaging, high throughput and comparative genomics and modelling
- Support fundamental research that requires collaboration between veterinary and human medicine to improve the health and wellbeing of animals and humans in the context of 'One Health'
- Promote new ways of working to accelerate the translation of basic bioscience to benefit the health of the population across all stages of life

US Hide, Skin Leather Exports Reach $1.43 Billion15 August 2014
US - Exports of United States hide, skin and leather products have continued the record-setting pace from 2013, marking one of the most successful periods the industry has seen to date.
Through June 2014, the industry has exported more than $1.43 billion worth of US cattle hides, pig skins, and semi-processed wet blue leather products (hides that have undergone the first stages of leather tanning.) This represents a 6.7 per cent increase over the $1.34 billion exported during the same period in 2013.
US hides and skins companies – including producers, processors, brokers and dealers – regularly export more than 90 per cent of total US production and are one of the top raw materials suppliers to the global leather manufacturing industry.
According to US Department of Agriculture statistics, US exports of wet salted cattle hides (cattle hides that have been preserved using brine solutions) increased four per cent in value to more than $955 million.
China was the largest buyer of these products, with imports valued at $619 million, a seven per cent increase over the same period in 2013.
Taiwan has likewise seen a seven per cent increase over 2013 levels to $68 million. Most major leather tanning markets saw US export values increase, including Mexico, the European Union (EU), Thailand and Vietnam.
The exception was South Korea, the second largest importer of US wet salted cattle hides, which decreased 11 per cent in value to $142 million.
Wet blue cattle hides also continued to increase in value. Through June, total exports of US wet blue products were just over $451 million in value, a 13 per cent increase over 2013.
Several US firms have increasingly shifted their focus from exporting raw materials to semi-process wet blue products in an effort to increase value and maximize gains.
China, again, is the largest importer of these products, taking in $168 million worth (a four per cent increase over 2013), while the EU, Viet Nam, Taiwan, Thailand, Mexico and the Dominican Republic account for the remainder.
Despite increasing export values, the US hides and skins industry faces a shortage of available supplies as cattle slaughter rates have decreased approximately seven per cent below 2013 levels. This continues a multi-year trend of reduced slaughter rates and cattle hide availability.
US pig and sow skins, used largely to make leather for shoe lining, dropped eight per cent in value to $27 million through June.
Mexico is the largest importer of the product, taking in $13 million. The US industry faces market access restrictions for pig and sow skins in China, the largest leather producing country in the world.
"The hide, skin and leather industry in the US continues to cement its reputation as an agricultural export engine, despite ongoing challenges related to cattle hide supplies, pig skin market access barriers, and uncertain conditions in key leather manufacturing sectors," said Stephen Sothmann, President of the US Hide, Skin and Leather Association (USHSLA).
"It is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of US firms."

I am the Anonymous Voice of Pakistan
I desire to be educated
For girls is not to be a trophy wife
But given a chance, to have equal rights as of men
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
Who wrote an anonymous diary against Taliban
The youngest person who won Nobel Peace Prize
The winner who fought with her younger brethren
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
I was shot in the head by the Gunman
An act that catapulted to International fame
After surviving in the dramatic assault
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
Chronicling the fears of school girls
Under the shadow of Taliban
After I was named Time Magazine
Most Influential people in 2013
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
I am only 11 when I wrote the Pashtun Diary
Under a pseudo name Gul Makal
a heroine from Pashtun Folktale
Under a pseudo name Gul Makal
a heroine from Pashtun Folktale
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
Who fought for the rights of school girls
For forbidding girls to be educated
That is my primordial concern
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
I documented the anxiety of my friends
For fears of being targeted by militants
Attending classes in disguise, so as not to draw attention
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
A passionate campaigner
Who speaks freely
And documented my life in hiding
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
I had continued my campaign
Reading my diary for BBC Urdu
Sharing my life using pen name Gul Makai
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
I don't want tobe thought of a girl
Who was shot by Taliban
But the girl who fought for education
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
Let us pick up books and pens
They were the most powerful weapon
They were the most powerful weapon
For one child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world
I am the anonymous voice of Pakistan
I dream the peace in every home
Every street, every village, and every country
I am Malala Yosefsai, I will always be the anonymous voice of Pakistan

Love knows what time is…
For when were in love time is fast
For when were bored time is long
But a moment with you is a moment of passing time
As a child…
We lost track of time
For when we play, laugh and just be a kid
For we don't need to worry
A finite company of toys, dreams and fears is a moment of passing time
As a mother…
The time she had you is timeless
You wrapped and hugged closed to mine
Like a precious jewel that everyone will desire
And time flies so fast till it's time to be like her
As a father…
As I see your tiny toes
I feel amazed when you first say dada, walk and cry
Fall asleep and made tantrums all at once, I don't want you to grow old
But time is passing and I might lose you and have grown to be like me
As a lover…
You may be second and I may be an hour
It may be a long chased and even takes a lifetime
But waiting is nothing
For I now love is my time machine set to your present perfect
In time…
It may have passed slowly
Separated by time and spaces
But time is what we manage to make
As life passes, you stood proud
You did live well because your time is worth remembering

There's a route with no end
That I have been travelling since
Like a transit or a train
Looking for the road to blissfulness
Four seasons had passed
Years and decades and century went by
Oh how I missed the falling leaves
And the coldness of the decay
Is there a road to felicity?
I asked the maiden, the passers by, and everyone I came across by
But they kept a silent grim
And a nay was the only answer
I have age and have seen life
I travelled to a far away land
And still I can't still find
The road to felicity
Then one day I have a companion
An old man , a hermit , in his solitary life
I asked him where can I find the road to Felcity?
And he smiled and told me, You are the road to felicity.
Oh how I missed everything looking for happiness
And the birthdays, holidays and gatherings I skip
Its been a decade since
And now I will travel to the road to felicity

Special equipment: 1 sushi rolling mat, mesquite wood chips
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F, preheat grill to low heat (less than 250 degrees F), and preheat fryer to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until a thick paste has formed. Rub this paste onto the pork.
Using mesquite wood chips, smoke the pork for 45 minutes at a low temperature, less than 250 degrees F. To set up a smoker, turn on grill and once the coals are covered in white ash, place in wood chips that have been soaking in water for 30 minutes. Do not spread the fire out as you would normally do when grilling. Leave the coals piled up on 1 side and put meat on the other side of fire, on top of grate.
Remove the pork and wrap it several times very tightly with plastic wrap, then wrap several times with aluminum foil, making sure that there is no plastic wrap showing. Place the wrapped pork in the oven and cook for 5 hours.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 45 minutes. Unwrap the pork and pull it apart with your hands, being careful as the meat will be hot. Place the shredded meat into a stainless steel bowl. Add BBQ sauce, stir, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water and cook over low heat until all of the water is absorbed, but the rice is still a little moist. Place rice into a stainless steel bowl and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Once cooled, with a rubber spatula, fold in the sugar and rice wine vinegar. Allow to sit for 10 more minutes.
Place a Bamboo sushi mat flat onto a cutting board. Place 1 piece of seaweed paper on top of the mat. Wet your hands with water so the rice will not stick. Using 1/4 of the rice, spread an even layer of rice covering the bottom half of the sushi paper entirely. On top of the rice, place 2 ounces of the pulled pork in a horizontal line, shaping the line into a tube-like cylindrical shape. Cut 1 scallion to the same width of the sushi paper and place it next to the pork.
To roll the sushi, take the bottom of the mat (side closest to you), and gently lift it and start to fold it towards the top of the mat (side furthest away from your body). The mat should serve as a guide to roll the sushi into a cigar-like shape. As you fold the mat, the paper will fold over and start to form a tube about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Make sure that you apply enough pressure so that this tube keeps its shape as you continue to move the bottom of the mat towards the top of the mat. The end result should be a nice cylindrical roll with the seaweed paper around the outside, and the rice, pork, and scallion in the center. Repeat 3 more times and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and flour. Add soda water until a pancake consistency batter forms. Add 2 or 3 ice cubes and whisk again. Roll the entire sushi roll in the cornstarch, and then dip it into the batter, coating evenly. Place the roll in 350 degrees F oil and fry for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oil, drain, and cut into evenly-sized pieces.
Arrange neatly on a plate and garnish with pickled ginger, and pickled okra. Drizzle with Chipotle Aioli, and enjoy!
In an electric mixer with a whip attachment, make mayonnaise base for aioli. Whip egg yolks until they have doubled in volume and turn pale yellow. Very slowly, add oil until an emulsion has formed. Continue adding oil at a slightly faster pace until all the oil has been incorporated. Add a dash of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
In a blender, place mayonnaise, garlic, chipotle peppers, and a dash of lime juice and puree until smooth.

Here are the Top Ten things that make Creative Communication different.
1. No entry fees.
2. In publishing our anthology we reject more entries than we accept. Our philosophy is to be selective enough that it is an honor to be included, but not so exclusive that it is discouraging to enter.
3. To decrease any "pressure" that a young writer may feel to purchase an anthology we donate a free book to any teacher who has 5 or more students who returned proofsheets to be published. This allows a student to see their work in print without making a purchase.
4. We contact each teacher who has a student accepted to be published 3-4 days before any of their students are contacted. This keeps the teachers informed with what is going on with the contest. At that time we provide the teachers with a list of their students that have been accepted to be published.
5. We send each student that is accepted to be published a postcard with a typed copy of their entry. This allows them to see their entry exactly how it will appear in the book. They can then log onto the internet and access a letter that gives them more information and print a certificate of achievement. On line, they can make minor changes or corrections to their entry and give permission to be published or they they can sign and return the postcard to give us permission to publish their entry.
6. Schools and teachers receive special recognition by receiving a Writing Achievement Award. This award is given to the top 10% of the schools who enter our contest. This award entitles each school to receive a certificate of achievement, special recognition in the front of the anthology with the school's name and location and the teacher's name who helped the school earn this recognition.
7. Teachers earn classroom rewards based on student participation. Thousands of dollars are awarded each year.
8. We award thousands in cash and prizes to young writers each year and top ten winners of the contest receive a free book which includes their special recognition as a "Top Ten Winner."
9. We produce a professionally bound hard backed anthology for under $25. We have been around since 1993 and our goal is to keep every student, parent, teacher and school satisfied. We ship every book that is ordered and we have a no questions asked satisfaction guarantee with every purchase.
10. You do not need to purchase an anthology in order to be published or to even win a prize.
Need we say more? Our goal as a member of the Better Business Bureau is to provide a positive experience for every student and to go beyond everyone's expectations.

Three WWU shells win heats Saturday
Western competes in four grand finals Sunday
GOLD RIVER, Calif. -- Western Washington won all three of its qualifying heats Saturday and all four of its shells will race in grand finals Sunday at the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship Regatta being held at the Sacramento State Aquatic Center on Lake Natoma.
The course is the same one where the NCAA national championships will be held May 27-29.
The Vikings, ranked No.1 in the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association NCAA Division II Poll all season, won heats in the varsity four and varsity eight races for Division II, Division III and club entries as well as the novice four. Their times in each race were the fastest of the two qualifying heats in which the top-3 finishers advance to grand finals.
"I'm ecstatic, especially considering the conditions," Western coach John Fuchs said, whose Vikings have won the last six national titles. "There was a very strong side wind. But our goal was to get out front and get to the finals and we accomplished that."
"With conditions like that, lining up for the start can be difficult, but all of our coxswains did an excellent job. I was especially proud of the novice four because those rowers haven't had a lot of experience with that."
Western's varsity eight had a winning time of 7:10.5 over the 2,000-meter course, having open water against second-place Seattle Pacific (7:15.6). Humboldt State was third (7:22.7) in the seven-boat race.
Puget Sound won the other qualifying heat in 7:17.8 with Lewis & Clark second (7:19.8) and Orange Coast third (7:22.0).
The Vikings' varsity four won in 7:43.9, three and one-half boat lengths in front of runner-up Humboldt State (7:56.2). UC Irvine was third (8:15.7) in the six-school run.
Sunday's varsity four grand final, which begins at 8 a.m., also includes Pacific Lutheran (8:01.1), Seattle Pacific (8:04.6) and Seattle U. (8:07.3), the top-3 finishers in the other qualifying heat.
Western's novice four posted a four-length victory with a winning time of 8:23.0. That was over 17 seconds ahead of second-place UC Berkeley (8:40.8) in the six-boat race. UC San Diego was third (8:47.3).
The novice four grand final takes place at 8:40 a.m. The top three advancing from the other heat were Seattle U. (8:28.4), Humboldt State (8:34.3) and San Diego State (8:37.2).
No qualifying heat was necessary in the junior varsity eight as there were just five entries. The Vikings will face Willamette, Humboldt State, UC Santa Barbara and Mills in a grand final at 10:40 a.m.
Western did not compete at WIRA last year after the varsity four and varsity eight both won gold medals with grand final victories in 2009.

GlaxoSmithKline to announce ability to produce bird flu vaccine
British drug maker GlaxoSmithKline is set to announce it would be able to produce millions of doses of a vaccine against avian (bird) flu, within four months of declaration of a pandemic. A vaccine could not be produced any sooner because scientists would need to know the exact strain of the flu before formulating an inoculation.
The firm will make the announcement on Thursday when it presents its quarterly results, a report in the U.K.'s Sunday Times said.
Plans to purchase enough vaccine to cover every person in the U.K. have been set in motion -- 120 million doses, or two doses for each person there -- in the event of a flu pandemic.
Meanwhile, the FDA has announced the formation of a rapid response team to ensure that enough legitimate antiviral drugs are available to the American public, in the event of an avian flu pandemic.
"Using the rapid response team approach, we believe we could review a complete drug application in six to eight weeks," said Andrew von Eschenbach, acting FDA commissioner.
The team was also formed to help combat the counterfeiting of bird flu-fighting drugs, including Roche's Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate).
"We have begun to have some concern that there may be a threat of counterfeiting with respect to Tamiflu," Health and Human Services secretary Michael Leavitt told reporters in a telephone briefing.
Tamiflu, and GlaxoSmithKline's Relenza (zanamivir) are known to work against the virus. And there is evidence that another older influenza drug called rimantadine may also work. None of the treatments cure influenza. However, they may be prescribed to reduce the impact of the virus.
