The future of nuclear power in India: a question of liability law by Sengupta, A

“…Following this, in 2011 India announced ambitious plans to expand its installed nuclear power generation capacity to 63 Gigawatts (GW) (out of over 800 GW) by 2032 through civil nuclear trade. However, several years on, much of this envisaged trade and investment has yet to come to fruition. …”

Tissue and spatially resolved immune drivers of fibrotic pulmonary sarcoidosis by Weeratunga, P

“…Fibrosis matters because it is irreversible, and the majority of progressive fibrotic sarcoidosis patients are young (40-60years of age). My project moves the focus away from traditional blood studies to the organ, using bronchoalveolar lavage samples of patients with fibrotic vs non-fibrotic sarcoidosis and lung tissue sections to ask what are the immune cells and functional pathways associated with fibrosis in pulmonary sarcoidosis. …”
