SNAPSHOT

Babies born by caesarean section are more likelyto be overweight or obese as adults according toanalysis by Imperial researchers

Afer combining data rom 983089983093 studies with over983091983096983088983088983088 participants they ound that the odds o beingoverweight or obese are 983090983094 per cent higher or caesareanbabies than those born by vaginal delivery Caesareanbabies have a higher BMI by hal a unit on average

The researchers said they couldnrsquot be sure that higherbody weight was caused by caesarean delivery theassociation might be explained by other actors thatwerenrsquot recorded in the data they analysed But there

are plausible mechanisms that could explain the linkOne is that the method o delivery inluences thetypes o healthy bacteria in the babyrsquos gut which canhave broad effects on health Also the compression

o the baby during vaginal birth may inluencewhich genes are switched on and this couldhave a long-term effect on metabolism

Some previous studies have suggested thatthe odds o other conditions such asthmaand type-983089 diabetes are higher in childrenborn by caesarean

Doctors hoping for a treatmentthat can abate the advancedstages of multiple sclerosis(MS) may already have onein their medicine cabinets

Statins which millionstake daily to lower cholesterolappear to have a beneficial

impact in patients withsecondary progressive MSaccording to findingsfrom Imperial

In a two-year clinicaltrial involving 140 patientssimvastatin was found toslow brain shrinkage whichis thought to contributeto patientsrsquo impairmentsSupporting this findingpatients on simvastatinachieved better scoreson movement tests andquestionnaires that assessdisability than patientstaking a placebo

ldquoAt the moment we donrsquothave anything that can stoppatients from becoming moredisabled once MS reaches the

progressive phaserdquo said DrRichard Nicholas (Medicine)who featured in the cover storyof the last edition of Imperial ldquoDiscovering that statins canhelp slow that deteriorationis quite a surprise

ldquoWe need to do a biggerstudy with more patientspossibly starting in the earlierphase of the disease to fullyestablish how effective it isrdquo

Telomeres which buffer the ends o chromosomes

and protect genetic material rom being

degraded get shorter over a personrsquos lietime

When researchers rom Imperial and the

University o Oulu studied telomere length

in 983091983089-year-old men they ound that those

who had been unemployed or two o the

preceding three years were more than twice

as likely to have short telomeres compared

to men who were continuously employed

Can statins slowthe progression ofmultiple sclerosis

983089 in 983092 birthsApproximately one in three to

our births in England are by

caesarean section today

Solar panelsrock Listening to music is not just good orthe soul it can actually make solar panelsproduce more power

Scientists have shown that solar cellsconvert sunlight into electricity much moreefficiently i high pitched pop and rock musicis played to them because o how it makesthe cells vibrate Classical music which istypically lower pitched still produced morepower output but not as much

This discovery makes it possible to powera wider range o devices with solar energythan at present as scientists can improvethe efficiency o solar cells using ambientor background noise present in manyenvironments

They ound that by i solar cells are coveredwith zinc oxide blasting beats similar to thenoise o an office printer is all that is neededto significantly improve the perormanceo a solar cell

Fuel for thought

Brazil has been hitting recent internationalheadlines more for sport than scienceImperial magazine straightens out thebalance by catching up with globe-trottingbioenergy research associate Alexandre

Strapasson

IN 983090983088983089983088 I MOVED TO LONDON FROMBRAZIL to carry out research at Imperialinto bioenergy and the behaviour ocomplex systems My wie Manoela isalso studying in London and even ourginger cat Mimo came with us across theAtlantic I am based at the Collegersquos Centreor Environmental Policy and affiliated tothe Energy Futures Lab and the GranthamInstitute or Climate Change The cross-disciplinary culture at Imperial helpsthings connect in surprising ways whichappeals to my approach to work

I was born during the militarydictatorship that ruled Brazil rom 1964to 1985 in the city o Curitiba in southernBrazil My parents are descendants oItalian immigrants who lef everythingbehind in search o hope in unknown

rural lands My mother has always beena dynamic person and recently finishedher secondary education more than40 years afer she lef primary schoolwhich is a great example o courage anddetermination or me

My ather was the only child in hisamily with access to higher educationas his original ambition was to become aCatholic priest Thankully he must havegiven up this idea at some point becausehere I am But his early training lef him

with a love or literature Discussing booksand news at home was an important parto my childhood

I grew up with a passion or scienceas well as a keen interest in debatinginternational and local issues I haveended up combining these approachesby working at the interace betweenscience and policy Inluencing policy isthe best way to provide more democraticaccess to energy sources income and

environmental servicesBrazil is a leader in biouelsparticularly or its sugarcane-basedethanol programme I first got interestedin bioenergy because it represents somuch more than an energy resource it isa significant driver o rural developmentin developing countries and a key routeor reducing carbon emissions worldwideWhile working in Brazil I became especiallyinterested in collaborations between SouthAmerica and parts o Arica and Asiarather than the more common partnershipsthat cross the North-South divide

I like the idea o living as a nomadbut please do not ask our cat about thatbecause he hates travelling I retain verystrong connections with the country whereI was born but I need to work in differentcultures to develop a proper internationalperspective As we all know issues

like land use energy and ood securitytranscend country bordersAfer training as an agricultural

engineer in Brazil I worked and undertookadditional studies in France and JapanBeore moving to London I worked or theBrazilian Government on the bioenergyagenda or the Ministry o Agricultureand on climate change or the Ministryo the Environment

Although I enjoyed being involveddirectly in climate change negotiations and

bioenergy policy making I also missthe science vibe that comes rom bebased at a university In the first insI tried to compensate or this by takundergraduate evening classes in pas a hobby but eventually realised needed to resume my academic jouand made the decision to move Impor a PhD

Imperialrsquos support or interestingconnections inspired me to set up t

Collegersquos Brazil Forum in 2011 to brtogether colleagues across Imperiawork on issues related to Brazil TheForum was born out o a wish to creopportunities to generate new andinteresting collaborations rather thparticular sense o patriotism

The list o partnerships with linksto Imperial and Brazil is growing Inaddition to my own area o bioenergcollaborations include work in aerotheoretical physics and public healtThe signing o a Memorandum oUnderstanding with the Satildeo PauloResearch Foundation (FAPESP) in 20resulted in significant matched seeunding or up to five new collaboraresearch projects

Through the support o BG GroupCollege recently launched the SustaGas Institute with a particular ocus

partners in Brazil to urther researcgas innovation energy efficiency ancarbon capture and storage

When I lef Southern Brazil with aknapsack on my back in search o nopportunities and interesting thinkall those years ago I could never hapredicted where I would end up Lois a great melting pot or bioenergyresearch and continues to provide opportunities or exploring environstrategies and sustainable energy

DIES OF THE FLU

WORDS BY DEBORA MACKENZIE bull ART BY CRAIG ALAN

Flu everyonersquos had it and had it againThe virus rarely means more than a temporary

inconvenience ndash except sometimes when it killsWhy Researchers at Imperial have led

an unprecedented bid to find out

WHO




ErsquoVE ALL BEEN THERE You ge ha achy eeling bi o achill a cough No o panic irsquos probably jus he flu I will be

over in a ew daysBu someimes i isnrsquo Te yearly winer flu epidemickills 200000ndash500000 people worldwide Mos are veryelderly Bu every now and hen a new srain o flu virus

appears o which many younger people have no immuniyTis is a flu pandemic ndash and one circled he world in 2009

I is hough o have killed 200000 people worldwide ha year I iniially hihe UK in wo waves in June and Ocober killing 474 people In England alonei is esimaed o have pu 7879 people in hospial 1700 o hem in inensivecare Te same virus hi Briain again during he winer flu season o 2010ndash2011killing 602 In England 8797 ended up in hospial 2200 in inensive care

ldquoIrsquove never seen anyhing like irdquo says Dr Jake Dunning a researcher andclinician working a he S Maryrsquos campus who graduaed in Medicine romImperial in 2001 ldquoTere were so many people in heir 30s and 40s in inensivecarerdquo Condiions including ashma or being obese or pregnan can makeflu worse ndash bu righeningly says Jake around a hird o he severe cases opandemic flu had no obvious reason o be so sick

And ye a he same ime research also parly done a Imperial has oundha hree-quarers o he people who caugh ha same virus never knew ihey didnrsquo even ge sympoms So wo perecly healhy people can cach exaclyhe same flu virus and one dies while he oher doesnrsquo even ge sick How arehey differen Irsquos a quesion ha maters or people caring or hemselves andheir amilies and i also maters o governmens planning or pandemics

In April 2009 Proessor Peer Openshaw head o Imperialrsquos Cenre orespiraory Inecion ndash which had begun operaing jus ha year ndash realised here

Te choice also played o his srenghs in pracicalchemisry and a cerain eeling abou he uure ldquoI havea srong sraegic sense and I realised ha analyicalchemisry was going o come up very quickly And soi has proved I never regreted he decisionrdquo

Te quesions he is now asked abou he difference beween his background and ha o his conemporariesa Imperial did occupy his mind when he firs arrived onhe campus Te suden body in he 1960s seemed verydifferen rom he presen siuaion where nearly 65o firs-degree undergraduaes come rom sae schools

ldquoI was a much bigger jump han I houghi would berdquo he says ldquoI wen here expecing oherpeople o be similar o me only o discover ha nearlyall o hem had been eiher o ee-paying schoolsor direc gran schools which exised in hose days

His background did have is compensaions houghldquoTey were nearly all boys who had been educaed insingle-sex schoolsrdquo he says beore pausing o measurehis words ldquoNo all o hem were well-equipped wihsocial skillsrdquo

Tis iniial eeling o difference was soon pushedaside by he exciemen o living in London in he 1960sand he disracions o universiy lie He edied FelixImperialrsquos suden newspaper and chaired socieiesldquoI go involved in hingsrdquo Bu in his presen rolei does come back o him

owards he end o his undergraduae sudiesEbdon was sill hinking o an indusrial career Ten onecompany he was alking o menioned ha i also undedresearch sudenships and he sared o hink o sayingin academia a litle longer Afer compleing his BSc in1968 he remained a Imperial or a PhD on analyicalaomic specroscopy which he compleed in 1971

By now he was commited o a research career bu he aced ormidable obsacles i he was o dohis as an academic ldquoChemisry deparmens wererying o downsize in a world where you couldnrsquomake redundancies so here were jus no academicopporuniies in he Unied Kingdomrdquo

So he looked overseas and ound a place as a

IMPRESSING THE INVESTORSDr Florent Dauchy (MBA 0)

Irsquom in the process o setting up a new high-end ood company so at themoment Irsquom learning an awul lot about speciality mushrooms Wersquovesecured some o the initial unding or the business so now wersquore buildinga mushroom arm Itrsquos sort o like a lsquoBlade Runnerrsquo lab It will be a roomwhere we can control the humidity and the temperature ndash basically wherewe can fix the seasons Itrsquos like science fiction but there are no chemicalsbecause theyrsquod ruin the taste

Irsquove been using the Alumni Visitor Centre to host all sorts o meetingsor the business and as a space to have some quiet time to work out thefiner points Every time my boss comes into town we plan at least two dayshere to brainstorm She was super impressed by the centre and thatrsquossaying something shersquos an economist who has been on some o Obamarsquosadvisory boards

I yoursquore a start-up yoursquore mostly on your own so itrsquos great to be ableto use the acilities here In my office at home therersquos no conerence roomand there are no people around Being based at Imperial helps at acevalue too ndash itrsquos about who I am and where Irsquove come rom

I like working at Imperial because itrsquos a geeky place ndash especially or mesince my background is as a scientist

about our personallives than our careers

As we took stepsdown memory lanewe relected on oursmall course cohorto ten as an eclecticmix o olk We werealso the only courseat the time with moreemale students thanmales Despite beinga bit o a hotchpotch

o a team we movedabout as a swarmgoing between lectureshaving coffee breaksand most importantlyalways being there tohelp each other outWhile our studies wereintellectually very hardI never remember eelingadrif because there werealways people to lean on

The Alumni VisitorCentre was a delightto use or our reunionbecause itrsquos a space oncampus where alumniare made to eel specialItrsquos comy airy andit has just the righttouchdown acilities
