Resolution Pharmacology and Physiology of MCTR in Arthritis (MCTRinIA)

Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 28, 2021,

Chronic inflammation may result from failure of the host response to engage pro-resolving pathways. The current treatment armamentarium for chronic inflammatory conditions may lead to immune suppression. Thus, identification of novel therapeutics that control inflammation without immune suppression will provide an attractive alternative approach. This is especially important since incidence of the ...

Honeybee communication: animal social learning at the height of social complexity (BeeDanceGap)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2021,

Learning from others is fundamental to ecological success across the animal kingdom, but a key theme to emerge from recent research is that individuals respond differently to social information. Understanding this diversity is an imposing challenge, because it is hard to replicate the overwhelming complexity of free-living groups within controlled laboratory conditions. Yet here I propose that one ...

New frontiers in numerical general relativity (NewNGR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

In recent years general relativity (GR) has become an increasingly important new tool in areas of physics beyond its traditional playground in astrophysics. The main motivation for this comes from the AdS/CFT correspondence which conjectures an equivalence between gravity in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spaces and certain conformal field theories (CFT’s). Via this correspondence, GR now plays a key role i ...
