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. Read more

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

Structural and mechanistic studies of fibroblast growth factor receptor signalling

University of Leeds
Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology
We have identified a previously undiscovered ‘signal switching’ mechanism used by a branch of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family – fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) – that are important in early development but also oncogenic in a range of cancers. Read more
