The gut microbiome has a profound effect on health and disease of humans and colorectal cancer (CRC) is one such disease influenced by microorganisms. Read more
We are interested in how intracellular signal transduction networks bring about complex biological behaviours in cells. We do this by combining computational biology with wet laboratory experimentation. Read more
We are interested in the spread of cancer, a process called metastasis. Metastasis is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths and there are currently no effective treatments to stop this process. Read more
Project Overview. Platelets are the small cells in the blood whose job it is to prevent bleeding. Under normal conditions, when they encounter a damaged blood vessel they become activated and form a thrombus. Read more
Cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of sudden death and morbidity. This project aims to identify why they occur in the elderly and novel routes to therapies. Read more
Project Overview. Platelets perform a pivotal role in the regulation of haemostasis, a physiological response to injury that prevents excessive bleeding. Read more
This unique PhD programme will bring together world-leading research from the Faculty of Biological Sciences and the Leeds Biomedical Research Centre based in the Faculty of Medicine and Health. Read more
Project Overview. The World Health Organisation (WHO) predicts antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections will be the leading cause of death globally by 2050. Read more
Project Overview. The emergence of bacterial strains with resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics has led to renewed interest in the antimicrobial properties of metals including silver. Read more
Project Overview. Unravelling the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving ageing to improve human health across the lifespan is a central aim of biomedical research. Read more
Project overview. The research in Professor David Leake’s group is concerned with atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of coronary heart disease and thrombotic strokes. Read more
Platelets play a key role in the prevention of bleeding following blood vessel damage. In addition to this important role, platelets also impact the… Read more
