Native mass spectrometry for the discovery of new anticancer agents

BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership, Researcher Academy. A 4-year fully funded BBSRC PhD CASE studentship is available at the University of Nottingham in collaboration with Erebagen Ltd to screen engineered bacterial natural product libraries for anti-cancer activity using native mass spectrometry.

Elucidating the role of lipids in fibrotic capsule formation at the surface of implanted medical devices.

Implanted medical devices are crucial in healthcare, valued at around £400 billion globally, however there is a high failure rate, often due to the foreign body reaction, where a fibrotic capsule forms around the implant with associated inflammation, loosening and infection. Read more

Structure and function of enzyme complexes involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation

Many proteins in human cells function as part of high molecular weight multi-subunit assemblies. The structure and function of such large molecular machines is often difficult to characterise due to their complexity, low abundance and structural dynamics. Read more

Role of BTG1 and BTG2 in acute lymphocytic leukaemia and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is often associated with small deletions of or point mutations in the highly related BTG1 or BTG2 genes. Read more

Discovery and profiling of small-molecule inhibitors of cellular nuclease enzymes

Nuclease enzymes are non-traditional drug targets that attract an increasing amount of interest as potential targets relevant for a variety of therapeutic areas including infection, cancer and bone disease. Read more

The role of calcium signalling in regulating of tumour cell behaviour

Metastasis is the major cause of mortality in human cancers, yet we know relatively little of the fundamental biology that underlies the important transition to invasive malignancy. 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

The Survivin Interactome in Health and Disease

Survivin is a small protein that is essential for life but that also contributes to disease, most notably cancer, in which its abnormal overexpression is linked to therapeutic resistance and metastasis. Read more
