This document outlines the projects granted under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 during 2016 with a primary purpose of basic research: multisystemic and other.

The following projects were granted:

• development of novel PET and SPECT imaging biomarkers (imaging, PET, SPECT, radiotracer, biomarker)

• applying genetic engineering to the chicken (chicken, genetic engineering, development, health)

• analysis of plant ion channel and receptors (SNAREs / K+ channels / cell growth / proliferation)

• phenotyping genetically altered mice (phenotyping, ageing, genetics, high-throughput)

• spatial and temporal regulation of dna replication (DNA replication, cell proliferation, chromosome, nucleus)

• functional analysis of vertebrate enhancers (gene regulation, enhancers, conserved sequences, development)

• advancing methods for rederiving and archiving genetically altered mice (mouse, freezing, sperm, embryos, technology)

• molecular genomic and phenotypic analysis of environmental adaptations in cyprinid fish (molecular genomic, phenotypic analysis, environmental adaptations, cyprinid fish)

• the european xenopus resource centre (european, xenopus, resource, centre)

• early growth and life-long health (development, growth, genetics, epigenetics, metabolism)

• investigation of the role of nox and reactive oxygen species in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders diseases and their treatment (NADPH oxidase; oxidative stress; cardiovascular diseases; insulin resistance; diabetes)

• effects of contaminants on fish physiology (fish, metals, contaminants, toxicology, physiology)

• investigating the (patho)physiological importance of S-acylation (S-acylation, palmitoylation, zDHHC enzymes)

• improving the pharmacokinetics and tissue targeting of antimicrobials (antimicrobial, melioidosis, burkholderia pseudomallei, francisella tularensis, pharmacokinetics)

• molecular regulation of mammalian development (genes , oocyte, development)

• developmental dynamics of tissue formation (developmental biology, spinal cord, central nervous system)

• role of centrosomes, centrioles and cilia in vertebrate development (centrioles, cilia, vertebrate development)

• production and maintenance of genetically altered mice (production, geneticall altered, archiving)

• caveolae and endothelial transcytosis (caveolae, endothelium, blood vessel, endocytosis)

• deciphering the mechanisms of early embryonic development (vertebrate development, stem cells, xenopus)

• fungal infection, diagnosis and therapy (fungus, infection, antifungal, therapy, diagnosis)

• supply of biospecimens from rats and mice (blood, tissues, drug discovery/development)

• preclinical imaging in biomedical research (PET, imaging, drug)

• understanding mechanisms of fibrosis (fibrosis, scar, myofibroblasts, therapy, diagnosis)
