AbstractIce-sheet mass loss is one of the clearest manifestations of climate change, with Antarctica discharging mass into the ocean via melting or through calving. The latter produces icebergs that can modify ocean water properties, often at great distances from source. This affects upper-ocean physics and primary productivity, with implications for atmospheric carbon drawdown.

AbstractIdentification of biomarkers of early-stage disease typically requires analysis of very large cohorts which can only be reasonably achieved using high-throughput methods. We have developed and optimised novel methods for whole blood analysis using volumetric absorptive microsampling devices to produce over 3000 protein identifications by LCMS on a Q Exactive HF-X Orbitrap.

AbstractDiagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) currently relies on imaging and in-clinic visits, however these methods are not effective at detecting early-stage disease. The investigation into blood-based biomarkers aims to simplify the diagnostic process and has the potential for identifying disease-associated changes before they can be seen using imaging techniques.
