Mapping the dark genome in early embryonic development: Mechanisims establishing and maintaining epigenetic stability

University of Leicester
College of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology
How does a single pluripotent cell reorganise its genome as it becomes a specialised cell? While we know much about the genes that define cell identity, far less is understood about the “dark genome”, repressed and structurally complex regions whose organisation within the nucleus helps determine which genes can be used.

EASTBIO: Decoding metastatic niche selection in canine oral melanoma using patient-derived organoid-on-chip models

University of Edinburgh
Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)
Metastasis is a complex, multistep process in which tumour cells must escape the primary tumour, survive transit through vascular or lymphatic pathways, and successfully colonise a permissive secondary tissue. Read more

Inducing Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer to Enable Effective Immunotherapy for Advanced Disease

University of Oxford
Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology
The generation and propagation of adaptive immune responses are normally confined to secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs), specialised tissues in which complex stromal cell networks coordinate interactions required for effective lymphocyte activation and differentiation. Read more

How to build and maintain a 3-dimensional polarised epithelial sheet

University of Nottingham
School of Life Sciences
We are interested in how cells maintain normal cell shape within an epithelium. Correct epithelial cell shape is essential to maintain tissue integrity and when deregulated can cause diseases such as malignant cancers, diabetes, inflammation, and aging. Read more

Identifying therapies to enhance muscle stem cell function in ageing using advanced imaging and AI models

King’s College London
Centre for Craniofacial & Regenerative Biology
Muscle function is essential for healthy ageing, yet we know deficits in muscle stem cell (muSC) function occur when we get older, resulting in weakness and frailty. Read more

Cell signaling pathology of human ciliopathies

Masaryk University
Department of Biology
This project aims to elucidate the cell signaling pathology of selected human ciliopathies. Ciliopathies are disorders caused by dysfunctional cilia, which are organelles involved in cellular signaling, cell fate decisions and motility. Read more

NWD DLA programme: Unlocking the Acidic Proteome: Development and Application of Negative-Ion Proteomics for Cell Signalling and Extracellular Protein Biology

University of Liverpool
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
Proteins are the molecular machines that control virtually every process in living cells. Their activity is regulated by small chemical modifications, known as post-translational modifications (PTMs), which act as molecular switches to control cellular communication, response to environmental cues and protein function.

(MRC NW-DMS) Resolving enhancer dynamics underlying cell fate decisions during early embryogenesis

The University of Manchester
Division of Developmental Biology and Medicine
  Research Group: Division of Developmental Biology and Medicine
How do embryonic cells choose who they will become? This project tackles this fundamental question in the Neural Plate Border (NPB), a transient embryonic territory where multipotent cells are directed towards Neural Crest (NC) or sensory placode fates, which respectively give rise to peripheral neurons/glia and cranial sensory organs.
