  • Functional Effects Detailed Research Plan
    GeCIP Detailed Research Plan Form Background The Genomics England Clinical Interpretation Partnership (GeCIP) brings together researchers, clinicians and trainees from both academia and the NHS to analyse, refine and make new discoveries from the data from the 100,000 Genomes Project. The aims of the partnerships are: 1. To optimise: • clinical data and sample collection • clinical reporting • data validation and interpretation. 2. To improve understanding of the implications of genomic findings and improve the accuracy and reliability of information fed back to patients. To add to knowledge of the genetic basis of disease. 3. To provide a sustainable thriving training environment. The initial wave of GeCIP domains was announced in June 2015 following a first round of applications in January 2015. On the 18th June 2015 we invited the inaugurated GeCIP domains to develop more detailed research plans working closely with Genomics England. These will be used to ensure that the plans are complimentary and add real value across the GeCIP portfolio and address the aims and objectives of the 100,000 Genomes Project. They will be shared with the MRC, Wellcome Trust, NIHR and Cancer Research UK as existing members of the GeCIP Board to give advance warning and manage funding requests to maximise the funds available to each domain. However, formal applications will then be required to be submitted to individual funders. They will allow Genomics England to plan shared core analyses and the required research and computing infrastructure to support the proposed research. They will also form the basis of assessment by the Project’s Access Review Committee, to permit access to data.

Jones Oak Street. died at the county infirmary on Thursday, October 17, 1895 at the age Block 26, lot 7 & 8 of eighty-six. He was once a leading and influential citizen of Baraboo. Sanborn map location 710 Oak Street He conducted a Tin Shop and Hardware Store on Oak as early as 1857 where D. S. Holcombe had a livery and feed barn in 1895. This was probably in the 600 Block. Afterwards he was in partnership with another gentleman and the firm was near where C. E. Ryan had his jewelry store in 1895. He eventually met with financial failure and lost his property. In 1857, H. A. Peck & R. A. Orvis kept a Drug Store at approximately this address, probably moving from 133 Third Avenue. In 1861 Peck increased the depth of the building to 70 feet. It is believed that Peck was still here in 1864. In May of 1864, George H. Hall & H. T. Savage opened a clothing store formerly occupied by Peck & Orvis. In September of 1864, Mrs. J. Kennedy announced to the ladies of Baraboo and the vicinity that she had opened a Ladies Furnishing Store just north of Ryan’s Jewelry Store. In May of 1866, Doane & Barstow were busy remodeling the Oak Street circa 1903 building north of Ryan’s Jewelry Store. When completed they planned on stocking the store with dry goods and groceries.

    Cyclodextrin-Based Rotaxanes for Material Science Applications A thesis submitted for admission to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Hwi Young Lee Australian INcUIUMcll University Research School of Chemistry Canberra, Australia April, 2014 Author’s Statement This is to declare that the work in this thesis represents original work that I have undertaken during my PhD degree at the Research School of Chemistry, the Australian National University from 2010 to 2014, except the synthesis and X-ray crystal analysis of the compounds 4.1 and 4.2, and the synthesis of compounds 4.4 and 4.5, which was carried out as part of my PhB Honours degree. To my best of knowledge, the thesis does not contain material that has been published or written by another person or accepted for the award of any other degree of diploma in any other university or tertiary institution, unless due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to this copy of my thesis, when deposited in the University library, being available for loan or photocopying. April 2014 l Acknowledgements I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Prof. Christopher J. Easton. This work would not have been possible without his guidance, patience and understanding. I appreciate the time and energy you put into students' academic excellence and personal welfare. I am also grateful that you have never stopped providing me with challenges and inspiration. I am extremely grateful to Dr Hideki Onagi for introducing me to cyclodextrin chemistry. I appreciate your willingness to sacrifice your lunch breaks, late evenings and even weekends to share your expertise.
