EastBio: Building a functional synthetic pyrenoid in plants using components from diverse algal lineages

  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Photosynthesis in plants is limited by the catalytic efficiency of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco. In most algae and some bryophytes, the performance of Rubisco is enhanced by a CO2-concentrating mechanism centred around a pyrenoid, a liquid-like, phase-separated microcompartment that saturates Rubisco with CO2.

EASTBIO - The hidden role of acrocentric short arms in genome instability

The short arms of acrocentric chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22 are among the least understood regions of the human genome. They consist of highly repetitive DNA (rDNA arrays, satellite repeats and segmental duplications), meaning much of their sequence is missing from canonical references like hg38. Read more

Mapping the dark genome in early embryonic development: Mechanisims establishing and maintaining epigenetic stability

  Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology
How does a single pluripotent cell reorganise its genome as it becomes a specialised cell? While we know much about the genes that define cell identity, far less is understood about the “dark genome”, repressed and structurally complex regions whose organisation within the nucleus helps determine which genes can be used.

The life cycle of ecDNA

A major focus of the lab is understanding the links between replication and mutagenesis (1‑4). Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) circles are present in a substantial proportion of cancers and frequently harbour oncogenes that drive tumour proliferation (5). Read more
