Epigenetics and Cancer: Determining how Mistakes in V(D)J Recombination Trigger Leukaemias and Lymphomas

University of Leeds

Faculty of Biological Sciences

Research Group: School of Molecular and Cellular Biology

V(D)J recombination is essential to produce antibody and T-cell receptor genes but since the reaction involves breaking and rejoining DNA, it is highly dangerous and errors have long been thought to lead to leukaemias and lymphomas. Read more

What is the role of steroid hormones made in the brain?

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Many behaviours differ between the sexes and this is often controlled by hormones. In our laboratory, we explore how hormones regulate behaviours that differ between the sexes. Read more

We are what we eat: Plants and their effects on the brain

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Plants synthesize many compounds that can act like hormones in mammals. A class of plant compounds called phytosteroids act like steroid hormones and may influence anxiety, reproduction and healthy aging, though the mechanisms by which these signal are poorly understood.

Long non-coding RNAs and its biological functions

University of Leicester

College of Life Sciences

Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology

In addition to ~20,000 protein coding genes, human genome contains ~30,000 genes that encode for functional RNAs. Apart from the rRNAs and tRNAs that are involved in translation, the famous example is the Xist RNA involved in silencing of one X chromosome in females. Read more

Structure-based design of allosteric modulators for G protein-coupled receptors using molecular modelling and pharmacology experiments

Queen’s University Belfast

School of Pharmacy

Almost all physiological processes are regulated through the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It has become widely accepted that most GPCRs possess binding sites spatially distinct from their natural ligand binding site (orthosteric site), termed as allosteric sites. Read more
