Coll Age

A COLL aboration between science and art on the subject of healthy AGE ing.

At the Soap Box Science event in Grantham I met Keith Bloody Mary an artist who has previously worked on Public Engagement projects with scientists. I really liked her work. Sometime in the middle of 2019 we applied for and got an award to collaborate on a project to engage the public on the subject of my research.
In October we held a small collage workshop to get an idea of how the collaging process works and to get the researchers together with the artist to develop some ideas.






The first event where we will be engaging with the 'real public' is coming up on the evening of the 31st January 2020. The artworks designed for the event will be up at The Hockley Arts Club in Nottingham from 5.30pm - come along and take a look!

Bovine adipose mitochondrial adaptation and a potential lactate–ketone toggle in early lactation

  Congratulations to Nial for his dedication and hard work to publish his research in precisely the field he is most interested in . Nial pursued his PhD to find out more about the metabolism of the dairy cow and this is an important contribution to the collective knowledge on mitochondrial adaptation in response to lactation.

Katie and Jacob presented their work at the European Drosophila Research Conference in Alicante - September 25th-28th 2025

EDRC 2025 Alicante   Using a CaFe assay to assess mitochondrial function in olanzapine treated D.melanogaster.  Katherine Mortimer  'The EDRC 2025 brought together researchers from a diverse range of disciplines with a shared interest in using Drosophila melanogaster as a biological model. For that reason, I thoroughly enjoyed the poster session. I had lots of interesting conversations pertaining to all areas of my poster, from specific methodology to a general interest in mitochondria. I found myself chatting to people for the whole 2-hour session and walking away with lots of useful insights and connections. ' Quantum Sensing of Mitochondrial Physiology in Response to a Hypomagnetic Field. Jacob Reed 'It was great to be surrounded by researchers from around the world at the 28th EDRC, all sharing a passion for Drosophila. I especially enjoyed the talks on metabolism and mitochondria, which led to insightful conversations on mito-nuclear DNA mismatch. Presentin...

Scientists visit from Manchester University and The National Physics Laboratory

  We had a great meeting about testing the effect of magnetic fields in mitochondria with Adam Bradlaugh (Manchester) and Alex Jones (NPL), Jacob Reed,  Melissa Mather from UoN Engineering (behind the camera!) and Mark Fromhold from UoN Physics (not pictured). Our magnetic shield was the subject of all attention in the lab. We had excellent discussions and now have a plan to start to work together.
