Unravelling the Architecture of Cellular "Antenna": Molecular Mechanisms of Ciliogenesis

  Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology
Cilia are hair-like structures found on many human cell types, where they act as sensory ‘antennae’ that detect and relay external signals governing cell behaviour, tissue organisation and development. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr R Mahen, Dr R Hirst

Using cryo-EM to reveal the molecular architecture of DNA repair machinery in plants

  Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology
Background. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) threaten genomic stability and cell viability. Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is a critical DSB repair pathway in both animals and plants. Read more

The molecular architecture of neurotransmission

Chemical synapses are cellular connections that define the organization and function of neuronal circuits and, as a result, the fundamental ability of the brain to acquire, process and store information. Read more

The epigenomic, transcriptional and diagnostic architecture of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by exposure to maternal infection

A fundamental unknown in understanding mechanisms of disease, and therefore improving therapy, is how stressors experienced during critical developmental periods influence the genesis or ‘programming’ of adult disease (Estes & McAllister 2016). Read more

Genetic constraints and evolutionary trajectories in life history, dispersal, and ageing traits

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology and Evolution
Understanding how genetic constraints shape evolutionary trajectories across age is fundamental to evolutionary biology, yet empirical estimates of age-specific multivariate genetic architecture remain rare. Read more

Long-lived deep-sea thermohaline currents and their influence on sediment-gravity flow systems

  Research Group: Planetary and environmental science
Long-lived deep-sea thermohaline currents and their influence on sediment-gravity flow systems. Background. Increasing evidence suggests that many sandy deep-water successions represent ‘hybrid’ systems in which initially deposited turbidites are modified by thermohaline-driven bottom currents. Read more

Deciphering G-Quadruplex function in transposon DNA nuclear import and transposition

Transposons are mobile DNA sequences capable of moving to new genomic locations and can dynamically shape genome evolution. However, the mechanisms that govern their successful integration into host genomes remain poorly understood. Read more

Decoding Dynamic Plant Meristems

All aerial parts of a plant originate from a small population of pluripotent cells within the shoot apical meristem (SAM). Far from being a static structure, the SAM is continuously changing in size, shape and cellular organisation as the plant develops. Read more
