EastBio: Phospho-regulation of microtubule-associated proteins in meiosis

  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Genes must be passed on accurately from cell to cell and from parents to children. Failure to do so can be a cause or contributing factor in human illnesses, such as cancer or reproductive problems/congenital conditions. Read more

EastBio: AI-informed Metabolic Interventions to Promote Muscle Protection and Repair at the Interface of Exercise, Disease, and Aging

Muscle and fat are two distinct differentiation pathways from the same precursor cells. Schirmer found that during adipogenesis muscle genes move to the nuclear envelope (NE) to be more tightly repressed while fat metabolism genes release. Read more

EastBio - Investigating mode of action and cellular impact of anti-bacterial effector toxins

Many species of bacteria use a contractile nanomachine called the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to deliver a wide range of toxic proteins, known as ‘effectors’, directly into neighbouring cells. Read more
