Understanding how ARID1A shapes chromatin structure, composition, and function

Institute of Cancer Research
PhD Programmes
ARID1A is a defining subunit of the BAF chromatin remodelling complex, one of the SWI/SNF family of remodellers in human cells. The ARID1A gene is frequently mutated in cancer (Harrod et al., 2020) ARID1A plays a key role in localising BAF to regulatory elements, especially enhancers. Read more

Engineering plant cell walls beyond the digestive range of a pest’s bacterial symbiont

Gatsby Charitable Foundation
Plant Sciences
Most herbivorous insects cannot digest a leaf unaided. Pectin, the polysaccharide that cements plant cell walls together, is a particular obstacle, and many beetles overcome it by carrying bacteria that supply the enzymes they lack. Read more

Reading tissue history and exposures using spatial single-cell genomics

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)
Postgraduate Studies
Every cell carries a record of its past. Somatic mutations and DNA methylation changes accumulate as cells divide and as tissues encounter chemicals in the environment, leaving marks that reveal how tissues are built, maintained, and damaged [1,2,3]. Read more

EASTBIO Where the brain learns: synaptic mechanisms of prediction-error plasticity

University of St Andrews
School of Psychology and Neuroscience
One of the most fascinating features of the brain is its ability to constantly predict what will happen next. For instance, when we move, our brains expect certain sights and sounds that indicate what we are doing. Read more
