MSc by Research: Degrade or die: Understanding proteasome regulation upon stress

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

The Rousseau lab is interested in decoding how protein degradation by the proteasome is regulated in cells so that accumulation of unfolded, misfolded, or damaged proteins can be cleared before they become deleterious. Read more

Molecular characterization of Sam68-driven cytoskeletal reorganization

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

The cytoskeleton is a complex network of various fibres (microtubules, actin, …) that is essential for cells to maintain their shape and internal organization and for their migration. Read more

Role of mechanical signals in a 3D human model of alveolar differentiation

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust BRC Translational Research (Non-Clinical) PhD Studentships

Alveolar epithelial type I (AT1) and type II (AT2) cells are essential for normal lung function following birth. Abnormal differentiation of AT1 and AT2 cells during development results in pulmonary pathology with associated neonatal mortality and long-term morbidity. Read more
