Illuminating cell division: developing live cell imaging techniques to quantify cell cycle dynamics in plants
Cell division is fundamental to multicellular growth and development. Plants develop continuously and make many fine adjustments to cell division patterns… Read more
Cancer biology: identification of new treatment options for EML4-ALK driven lung cancer through understanding mechanisms of cell division and migration.
Lung cancer is the largest cause of cancer-related deaths in the UK and worldwide. While little progress has been made in long-term survival rates, we now have a good understanding of the genetic drivers raising the prospect of earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments. Read more
Regulation of cell division by mechanical force in 3D tissue environments
The cells and tissues of our bodies are constantly being pushed and pulled and it is vital that they sense and respond to these mechanical forces appropriately to maintain normal tissue function1. Read more
Designing inhibitors of protein-protein interactions for bacterial cell division for specific antibiotics (BEEKMANA_U23SF)
Antibiotic-resistant pathogens are a huge threat in healthcare. The last resorts of conventional antibiotic drugs are unable to treat multi-resistant strains in patients. Read more
Regulation of asymmetric cell division in brain cancer stem cells
Glioblastoma is the most lethal brain cancer in adults. Its poor prognosis is a result of aggressive tumour growth, therapeutic resistance, and tumour heterogeneity at the cellular and genetic level. Read more
Basal stem cells in the lung and their recognition of dying cells
Stem cell division and differentiation is critical for barrier repair following inflammation, but the initial trigger for this process is unknown. Read more
MSc by Research: How do CDKs phosphorylate the right substrates at the right time?
Cell division is crucial for tissue renewal, wound repair, and the immune response. Cancer occurs when mechanisms that regulate cell division go wrong. Read more
Cutting off the fuel supply to calcium pumps in pancreatic cancer: a novel therapeutic strategy
Background and Rationale. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has the poorest survival and limited treatment options. Therefore, the search for novel therapeutic targets and drugs designed to selectively kill PDAC cells must remain a central research strategy. Read more
MSc by Research: Mechanisms controlling cell ingression through the primitive streak during gastrulation in chick embryos
We investigate the how the key cell behaviours that mediate gastrulation in the early chick embryo. The chick embryo is a model for amniote development including humans. Read more
Variational approaches for imaging tasks in cell biology
The goal of this project is to develop strategies for cell segmentation, classification and tracking through variational deep learning techniques approaches that enable estimation of uncertainties in achieving these tasks. Read more
Modelling the dynamics of neural tube development, PhD Studentship (Funded by the QUEX Institute)
Project Summary. How the central nervous system develops from its embryonic precursor, the neural tube, is still only poorly understood. Read more
Inter- and intra-cellular signalling in the development of fibrosis in the hypertensive heart
Project Overview. Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In terms of volume, the normal heart is composed mostly of terminally-differentiated contractile cells (cardiomyocytes), responsible for the pump action of the heart. Read more
3D OrbiSIMS for the investigation of the molecular fingerprints of cellular senescence
As we age our tissues accumulate senescent cells, which play important roles in health and disease across the lifespan. During aging and age-related conditions (i.e. Read more
School of Molecular Biosciences
Our school houses a multi-disciplinary centre of excellence conducting fundamental and translational life science research underpinning health and food security. Read more
Proteomic analyses of adhesion signalling in cancer
Why adhesion? Cell surface adhesion receptors play key roles in the control of cell movement, survival, division and differentiation. Read more
