Fuelling proliferation: how transporters control metabolism in development and cancer

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)
Postgraduate Studies
Many cancers lose their differentiated identity and revert to a stem cell-like state. This project asks whether they do so in part by reactivating the metabolic programmes that drive growth in early development, and whether membrane transporters are important regulators of this. Read more

Epigenetics, ageing, and stem cells

University of Cambridge
Cambridge Stem Cell Institute
Group Leader. Dr Chiara Herzog (Herzog Group). Research Summary. Throughout life, our cells accumulate memories of their experiences, recorded on the “epigenome” - a layer of chemical tags on our DNA that switches genes on or off without changing the underlying genetic code itself. Read more

Role of the centrosome and cilium in (neural) development using zebrafish as a model organism

Royal Holloway, University of London
Department of Biological Sciences
My research interest lies in the roles of centrioles and associated proteins, as parts of the centrosome and cilium, in cell biology and early vertebrate development, using zebrafish as a model system. Read more

Biological role of neuropeptides and their receptors

University of Reading
School of Pharmacy
Cell signalling is critical to the co-ordination and functioning of all cells. Cell signalling allows cells to co-ordinate activities within the intracellular environment as well as ensuring cells know how to correctly respond to other cells and to an ever-changing extracellular environment as well.

Development and Application of a Generative 3D Cell Morphable Model for Blood-Cell Morphodynamics

Queen Mary University of London
London Interdisciplinary Biosciences Consortium (LIDo)
This iCASE project addresses a critical bottleneck in blood-cell morphodynamics. high-throughput blood-smear platforms capture large-scale clinical 2D cell images, but the smearing process physically flattens cells onto glass, destroying the 3D nuclear and cellular geometry that encodes mechanics and cell state.

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Galectin-3 signalling in trabecular meshwork biology: 3D and organ-culture models toward antifibrotic outflow therapy to treat Glaucoma

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
Glaucoma is a common eye disease and a leading cause of irreversible sight loss. It becomes more common with age, and raised intraocular pressure, caused by increased resistance in the trabecular meshwork, is the only factor that can currently be treated. Read more

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: The impact of the RNA exosome on ribosome specialisation in different cell types

Newcastle University
Faculty of Medical Sciences Graduate School
Do you think ribosomes, the ancient and evolutionary conserved RNA-protein factories that make all cellular proteins, are boring? That they are the same in all cells and that we know all about them?. Read more
