Measuring What Truly Matters: A New Scale Blends Psychology and Spirituality to Redefine Effectiveness in Churches
Churches shape lives and communities, yet no reliable tool measures how effectively they do so. My study developed a psychologically informed scale to assess faith-based organisational effectiveness, bridging spiritual purpose with organisational performance.
Learning how to exploit bacterial competition to target harmful strains
Bacteria living in microbial communities naturally compete for resources. We show that by understanding how bacteria compete, we can repurpose natural competition and target harmful species from within a community, like the human gut microbiome.

Pd doping offers a promising route to modulate the interfacial charge transport of graphene quantum dot–based heterostructures, enabling their integration as functional interlayers in advanced device architectures.
Behind the Paper: Intersecting Impacts of Ageing, Migration, and Socioeconomic Disparities on Health Equity – A Post-Pandemic Policy Review
Born from the COVID-19 crisis, this paper reveals how ageing, migration, and socioeconomic inequality intersect to shape health outcomes. It highlights that these forces must be studied together to address deepening health inequities and guide inclusive post-pandemic recovery policies.
cfDNA dynamics decipher mechanism of action of Ibrutinib in patients with MCL
We investigated cfDNA dynamics prior to and during induction treatment of patients with MCL treated within the TRIANGLE trial and showed an early and superior disease clearance when treated with Ibrutinib and hints toward improved disease clearance in lymph nodes than using chemotherapy
