Identifying molecular markers of egg quality to improve fertility and reproductive success in fish and farm animals

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

To generate the next generation, animal oocytes (ova/eggs) must form and get organised properly. Eggs of many animals (fish, frogs, pigs, cattle) and humans contain a membrane-less subcellular structure, the ‘Balbiani body’ (BB). Read more

Supervisors: Prof K Sampath, Dr D Hebenstreit

Ageing: how to live 5x longer?

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

Research in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has revealed numerous interventions that modulate lifespan and healthspan. For instance, dietary restriction and specific manipulations of the reproductive system can extend animal longevity by up to 50%. Read more

Deciphering Fungal Growth, Survival, and Adaptation Using a Solid-state NMR Approach

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

Fungal cell walls are complex, protective structures, dominated by sugar molecules (glucans) of varying length and composition. They are essential for fungal growth, shape, and survival, and are major targets for antifungal drugs. Read more

Supervisors: Dr WYC Chow, Dr M Balasubramanian

Functional and structural characterisation of glycosyltransferases involved in protein mannosylation

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

Glycosylation is one the most abundant post-translational modifications and an evolutionary indicator. indeed the increasing complexity of host-pathogen and organism-environment interactions, amongst others, is reflected in the reported ability of prokaryotes (e.g. Read more

Investigating the co-translational assembly of protein complexes encoded by synthetic mRNAs

University of Warwick

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

An mRNA contains instructions not only for what protein is made, but also how that protein assembles inside the cell. Understanding this regulatory information is critical for the safe and effective development of mRNA therapeutics for protein replacement therapies. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J Waldron, Dr E Griffin

Role of non-canonical autophagy in liver lipid metabolism in response to unhealthy diets (BERAZA_Q27DTP)

Quadram Institute Bioscience

Graduate Programme

Obesity has epidemic proportions in the UK as more than 60% of adults are overweight and 33% have fatty liver. Poor dietary habits (western diets) are the main contributors to obesity and liver steatosis, where lipid accumulation becomes toxic for hepatocytes leading to cell death and consequent inflammation.
