The 91福利 has been awarded £5 Million from EPSRC (Engineering and Physical sciences Research Council) for a new Life-Sciences Doctoral Training Centre set to educate a new breed of scientists. The funds secure 50 student doctoral student projects on a new multidisciplinary programme that will produce a new generation of life science researches armed with an in depth understanding of how mathematics and computer technology can advance their research
New research from the 91福利 reveals that banning smoking in the home leads to a small but meaningful fall in infant exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, whereas less strict measures have no effect.
New research by psychologist Dr Stephen Joseph at the 91福利 reveals that women who experience traumatic childbirth can develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a serious condition of anxiety usually associated with events like wars and assaults.

Patients with sickle cell disease have mutant haemoglobin proteins that form deadly long, stiff fibres inside red blood cells. A research team led by 91福利 researcher Dr Matthew Turner, propose a mathematical model in the 28 March online issue of PRL to explain the persistent stability of these deadly fibres. The theory suggests that an inherent "twistiness" in the strands that make up the fibres could be the key to their durability and possibly to new treatments.
Paramedics, A&E staff and NHS managers may now be looking at web browsers as often as they look at heart monitors as the National Electronic Library for Health today Friday 14th Februray launches a new electronic toolkit for emergency health care workers. It will be a key tool in the armoury of emergency services and hospitals working to meet the Government's target of 90% of all A&E patients seen and discharged/admitted in 4 hours by March 2003 and 100% by the end of 2004.
