Identifying novel genes and pathways regulating human telomere length

University of Leicester

College of Life Sciences

Research Group: Cardiovascular Sciences

Telomeres are protein bound stretches of repetitive DNA at the end of linear chromosomes that prevent the end of the DNA being incorrectly recognised as a DNA break. Read more

Supervisors: Dr V Codd, Dr CN Nelson

From metabolism to immunity: rediscovering SGLT2

University of Leicester

College of Life Sciences

Research Group: Cardiovascular Sciences

SGLT2 inhibitors are widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes, yet their true potential may extend far beyond blood sugar control. Clinical trials have already shown that these drugs reduce cardiovascular events, protect the kidney, and improve survival. Read more

Investigating the roles that G protein coupled receptors play in hypertension

University of Leicester

College of Life Sciences

Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a very large family of heptahelical, integral membrane proteins that mediate a wide variety of physiological processes ranging from the transmission of light and odorant signals to the mediation of neurotransmission and hormonal actions. Read more
