EASTBIO : Establish proximity labelling strategies in zebrafish to capture cellular interactions in vivo

University of Edinburgh
School of Regeneration and Repair (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)
Unravelling the outcomes of cell–cell interactions is fundamental to understanding biological processes. The ability to visualise and track these interactions in vivo greatly enhances our capacity to dissect contact-dependent communication. Read more

EASTBIO - The hidden role of acrocentric short arms in genome instability

University of Edinburgh
School of Genetics and Cancer (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)
The short arms of acrocentric chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22 are among the least understood regions of the human genome. They consist of highly repetitive DNA (rDNA arrays, satellite repeats and segmental duplications), meaning much of their sequence is missing from canonical references like hg38. Read more

The cycling of climate-active sulfur compounds by major crops TODD_UEA_ARIES27

University of East Anglia
School of Biological Sciences
Scientific background. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is known as a marine anti-stress compound made by algae and bacteria. It has key roles in global nutrient and sulfur cycling, signalling, and microbial DMSP catabolism releases climate-active gases (CAG), notably dimethylsulfide (DMS). Read more

Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance of Responses to Environmental Stress TAYLOR_R_UEA_ARIES27

University of East Anglia
School of Biological Sciences
Background. Natural environments are changing rapidly due to anthropogenic climate change. How populations respond to these changes determines whether they adapt to more stressful environments via plasticity and/or evolution, or whether they become extinct. Read more

Decoding Retinal Specialisation: From Development to High-Acuity Vision

University of Leicester
College of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Psychology & Vision Sciences
The ability to resolve fine spatial detail depends on extraordinary specialisation of the retina. In humans, this culminates in formation of the fovea, where cellular organisation, neuronal connectivity and tissue architecture are precisely arranged to support high-acuity vision. Read more
