  • Bloomsbury Project
    Opticon1826 , Issue 6, Spring 2009 THE BLOOMSBURY PROJECT By Rosemary Ashton For a century, Bloomsbury has been celebrated as the home of the ‘Bloomsbury Group’ of writers and artists in the early decades of the twentieth century. The UCL Leverhulme-funded Bloomsbury Project, ‘Bloomsbury and Reform in the Nineteenth Century’, is dedicated to the study of the area before this group settled there. A striking number of pioneering nineteenth- century institutions are to be found in the space bounded by Tottenham Court Road in the west, Euston Road to the north, Gray’s Inn Road to the east, and New Oxford Street to the south. Why and how so many centres of learning emerged in the immediate area of the British Museum (founded in 1753 but much extended in the nineteenth century), turning Bloomsbury into an intellectual powerhouse, are questions the project addresses. The beginning and end dates are 1800, when Francis Russell, fifth Duke of Bedford, obtained two acts of Parliament to develop his Bloomsbury estate, and 1904, when Virginia Stephen, later Woolf, moved into the area after the death of her father Leslie Stephen, so beginning the ‘Bloomsbury Group’. The Bloomsbury project is multidisciplinary, involving research in many fields: intellectual, cultural, political, social, economic, geographical, architectural, legal, educational, medical, religious, and literary history. Collaborators and advisors already attached to the project include colleagues at UCL in English, History, the History of Medicine, the Built Environment, and Geography; outside UCL, we number collaborators from Birkbeck, Central St Martin’s, the British Library, the British Museum, the Dr Williams’s Library, the Swedenborg Society, and Camden Public Library.

Pigments (in red and blue) are attached to a protein backbone (ribbons) and cooperate to absorb and transfer sunlight efficiently. Dr Alexandra Olaya-Castro and graduate student Edward O’Reilly are investigating the impact of variations in the protein composition on the energy transfer properties within and between LH2 complexes. PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY ANNUAL REVIEW 2010–11 1 Introduction 2010 has been an exciting year for the Department of Physics and Astronomy due to a number of long-term, high- profile experiments beginning to harvest data. In some cases, members of the Department have been involved in the projects for many years: from the initial proposals to their current fruition. Among these include the HEP involvement in the ATLAS experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN; the Astro group’s participation in the Planck and Herschel satellites, jointly launched in 2009; and the discovery of ‘magnetricity’ by members of the CMMP group in late 2009. These projects are explained in detail in the research section of this review (starting page 18) and are indicative of the scientific excitement which has been maintained across the disciplines.

  • UCL Application of Synthetic Biology to T-Cell Engineering
    BBSRC Project Post-doc Position: UCL Application of Synthetic Biology to T-cell Engineering The Project: The administration of genetically modified immune effector cells (T-cells) is a promising new form of cancer therapy. For instance, we have shown that administration of T-cells engineered to recognize a cancer antigen can result in clinical responses in children with neuroblastoma1. T-cells have been engineered with a wide variety of disparate transgenes to alter their function for therapeutic effect: Typically, transgenes have altered the T-cell’s specificity to a surface antigen (Chimeric Antigen Receptors, CAR), or to an epitope of an intracellular antigen (native T-cell receptor transfer). More recently, we and others have introduced transgenes which alter a T-cell’s behaviour, for instance suicide genes, homing receptors and cytokines, or knocked out expression of single genes. To date however, the work has largely involved a single genetic modification. We propose to increase the level of genetic alteration to yield not only a single effect but to allow re-programming of T-cells with new more complex cellular behaviours for therapeutic application, with a particular focus on cancer. We plan to achieve this by application of synthetic biology principles to T-cell engineering, namely to develop a library of well-characterized inter-connectable components performing logic and input/output functions. These components will be generated with a view to build systems composed of combinations of these components. In this way we hope to develop therapeutics with heavily engineered cells which should exceed the complexity and refinement possible with traditional therapeutics such as small molecules or therapeutic proteins.
