Molecular stratification of subglottic stenosis to identify therapeutic pathways

Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a progressive fibrotic disease that causes narrowing of the subglottic trachea. Causes are autoimmune (granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or ANCA-negative vasculitis), iatrogenic (after intubation or trauma) or idiopathic, with an incidence of 1 in 400 000 patients per year[1].

EastBio: Investigating the dynamic regulation of tissue disassembly and death using Drosophila

  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

EASTBIO: Discovering the rules of stem cell self-organisation with AI-guided experimental design

What if we could watch groups of cells organise themselves into a tissue and automatically learn the rules by which these cells coordinate with each other? And what if we can then use those rules to optimise future experiments? In this project you will build the computational methods to achieve that. Read more
