NWD DLA programme: Keeping Growth in Proportion: How Oxygen and Temperature Reprogramme Developing Tissues

What allows a developing organism to change size without losing proportion? Growth is remarkably flexible. cells and organs respond to oxygen and temperature, yet the molecular machinery that keeps those changes coordinated is poorly understood. Read more

(MRC NW-DMS) The effects of female reproductive cycles on lung inflammation

Summary of research topic. Women spend 25% more of their life in poorer health than men. Inflammation in the lung affects women disproportionately, yet women are under-represented in research, clinical trials and current treatment strategies are not stratified by sex. Read more

(MRC NW-DMS) Resolving enhancer dynamics underlying cell fate decisions during early embryogenesis

  Research Group: Division of Developmental Biology and Medicine
How do embryonic cells choose who they will become? This project tackles this fundamental question in the Neural Plate Border (NPB), a transient embryonic territory where multipotent cells are directed towards Neural Crest (NC) or sensory placode fates, which respectively give rise to peripheral neurons/glia and cranial sensory organs.

(MRC NW-DMS CASE) Investigating serum protein biomarkers of breast cancer risk associated with high mammographic density and high-risk mammographic patterns

Mammographic density is one of the strongest predictors of breast cancer risk, yet little is known about the biological mechanisms linking dense breast tissue to tumour development. Read more

(MRC NW-DMS) Mechanistic and translational understanding of woodsmoke-induced lung epithelial injury using advanced in-vitro and in-vivo models

The lung is our first point of contact with air pollution. This mucosal barrier pairs an epithelium that must stay intact with a finely tuned immune-surveillance network, together mounting a balanced response to everything we inhale, harmful or harmless. Read more
