Cutting to the Core: Mechanistic Dissection of Nuclear Protease Function in Tumour Biology

Proteases are classically viewed as degradative enzymes that function in the cytoplasm or extracellular space. Emerging evidence reveals a surprising role for specific proteases within the nucleus, where they influence key processes such as chromatin remodelling, transcriptional control, and DNA repair.

Molecular Mechanisms of Insect Olfaction Toward Sesquiterpenoid Stereoisomers

How do insects distinguish between mirror-image molecules, and why can a subtle change in stereochemistry transform a strong attractant into a compound that elicits no response? This PhD project explores the molecular mechanisms that drive insect recognition of sesquiterpenoid stereoisomers, a class of compounds commonly involved in true bug pheromone communication.
