Who Wants a Coup? Quasi-experimental evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa
subject: Politics and International Studies
description: Military coups were a regular occurrence in West African countries in the decades that followed independence and there is growing concern they are becoming more frequent. Securing sufficient public support has often been described as key to the success of a military takeover.

Refining novel genetic biosensors for neuroactive chemicals based on in vivo detection of hydrogen peroxide.
subject: Life Sciences
description: My supervisor’s research team is investigating how neurons and glial cells communicate with each other, and to detect the release of L-Aspartate from neurons, they are expressing L-aspartate oxidase (LAOx) on the surface of mouse brain cells which generates hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as one of the products. However, this production of H2O2 would not normally occur in brain, and therefore, it could have undesirable physiological effects. Catalase is an enzyme which metabolizes H2O2 and it could be combined in a construct with LAOx to prevent excessive accumulation of H2O2 in tissue. Microbial catalases with a high catalytic activity and a small mass would be appropriate. Such catalases could be expressed in ordered arrangements with LAOx and fluorescent proteins on mouse brain cell membranes to reduce the diffusion of H2O2 away from the detecting cells. My project therefore devised a range of constructs that combine catalase and LAOx tagged with a red fluorescent protein (mCherry) in different sequential orders to optimize oxidase-based biosensors for use in brain without overly reducing their sensitivity.
