Preparing for the next pandemic: Design and Synthesis of Novel Broad-Spectrum Antivirals against SARS-CoV-2 and emerging viral threats

The covid pandemic was a wake-up call for the need for novel anti-virals, preferably broad-spectrum, to potentially combat future pandemics, but to also better treat those with existing viral infections in both humans and animals. Read more

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing and super-resolved live cell imaging to study the extracellular microenvironment at the single molecule level

The three-dimensional space around and between mammalian cells is filled with a complex network of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, which instruct fundamental processes such as cell survival, differentiation and migration, in addition to providing structural support for cells. Read more

How to build and maintain a 3-dimensional polarised epithelial sheet

We are interested in how cells maintain normal cell shape within an epithelium. Correct epithelial cell shape is essential to maintain tissue integrity and when deregulated can cause diseases such as malignant cancers, diabetes, inflammation, and aging. Read more
