EastBio: Structural basis of paired immune receptor activation in Arabidopsis

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Deep inside every plant cell, there are molecular ‘sentinels’ called NLRs that detect invading pathogens and sound the alarm, triggering the plant's defence. Read more

EastBio: Building a functional synthetic pyrenoid in plants using components from diverse algal lineages

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Photosynthesis in plants is limited by the catalytic efficiency of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco. In most algae and some bryophytes, the performance of Rubisco is enhanced by a CO2-concentrating mechanism centred around a pyrenoid, a liquid-like, phase-separated microcompartment that saturates Rubisco with CO2.

EastBio: Bet-hedging bacteria: computational modelling of RNA repair and antibiotic survival

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Bacterial cells rarely behave identically, even within a genetically uniform population. This variability underlies heteroresistance, where some cells resist antibiotics better than others despite being genetically identical, allowing infections to persist and relapse. Read more

EastBio: Characterisation of a completely new virus lineage infecting animals

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology and Evolution
Drosophila melanogaster is the foremost laboratory model for viral infection of invertebrates, and through metagenomic discovery our group has now identified more than 200 viruses that naturally infect Drosophilidae. Read more
