The role of DNA topology in epigenetic regulation by Polycomb proteins

Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM)
University of Montreal
  Research Group: Francis Lab, Biochemistry of Epigenetic Inheritance
Project Description. Correct use of the genome is at the heart of cell function and development. The primary sequence of DNA holds its essential information, yet the organization and structure of DNA also encode information. Read more

Investigation of the critical roles of platelets at the interface between thrombosis and inflammation in order to develop improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular/inflammatory diseases

University of Reading
School of Pharmacy
Platelets (small circulating blood cells) are involved in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding, however, their inappropriate activation under pathological conditions leads to thrombosis resulting in major cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Read more

Targeting DNA G-quadruplex as a key vulnerability of SMARCA4 impaired cancer

Imperial College London
Institute of Chemical Biology
It is increasingly evident that alteration of the epigenome can be critical to drive tumorigenesis and cancer development as much as genetic mutations. Read more

EastBio: Resolution of chromosomal DNA bridge at the septum in E. coli

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Cell division is essential to life and DNA molecules need to segregate safely and appropriately during this process. Following DNA damage, entrapped DNA at the cell division site, referred to here as ‘DNA bridges’, may form between dividing cells. Read more

Evaluating the function of podoplanin (PDPN)+ cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in bladder cancer biology

Institute of Cancer Research
PhD Programmes
Bladder cancers which are enriched for cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) have poor therapeutic outcomes. We have identified that a CAF population that stains positively for podoplanin (PDPN) is the most common CAF subtype. Read more

Eastbio: FoxP2 in Flight: Transgenic Bats and the Molecular Genetics of Speech and Language

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Have you ever wondered how humans evolved the ability to speak to one another, which other animals share that ability, or how it is encoded in our genes and the brain? Our lab aims to answer these questions by studying vocal learning, the ability to modify vocalisations through experience, which underlies human speech and is found in only a handful of other species.
