Investigating the dynamic regulation of tissue disassembly and death using Drosophila

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Tissues and organs are not only built, they must also be dismantled and removed at the appropriate stage. Tissue disassembly and death are fundamental to normal development and physiology, while their disruption underlies developmental disorders and diseases such as cancer. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr N Agrawal, Dr J Regan

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Cell-free assembly and engineering of programmable protein nanocages for mRNA vaccine delivery

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
Vaccine mRNA can only work if it reaches the part of the cell where proteins are made. Can engineered protein shells protect vaccine mRNA and release it inside cells to produce an antigen, while avoiding excessive inflammation?. Read more

Where do plants make their medicine? Mapping chemical defence one cell at a time (NOBORI_T27DTP)

The Sainsbury Laboratory
Graduate Programme
When a pathogen attacks, a plant fights back with chemistry. However, not every cell uses the same defence. Our recent single-cell study revealed an unexpected division of labour in infected leaves. Read more

Quantifying drug response in cancer using 4D using Oblique Plane Microscopy and Optical Coherence Tomography

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS)
Postgraduate Studies
Heterogeneity in drug response is a confounder to successful cancer treatment. Even within genetically identical populations, cells respond differently to drugs due to factors including stochasticity in gene expression, cell cycle phase/state and the environment. Read more
