Manipulating meiotic crossover control in wheat (MORGAN_J27DTP)

John Innes Centre

Graduate Programme

Meiotic recombination generates the genetic diversity on which both evolution and crop breeding depend. In wheat and other cereals, crossovers are strongly biased towards certain regions of the genome, leaving vast stretches almost untouched. Read more

Engineering Stomatal Dynamics: Cell Wall Architecture, Remodelling and Deformation

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

How do plants control their stomata, the microscopic pores that determine how much CO₂ they take up and how much water they lose? Stomata open and close rapidly, requiring guard cells to undergo dramatic changes in shape and volume and the cell wall surrounding these cells must simultaneously be strong enough to constrain their shape and sufficiently dynamic to allow movement.

AI-Driven Protein Design for Studying Cell Signalling and Chromatin

University of Leeds

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Cells rely on precise molecular signals to decide when to grow, divide, repair DNA, or switch genes on and off. One of the most important of these signals is in the form of post-translational modifications – the attachment of small functional groups or small proteins on substrates. Read more

Supervisors: Dr E Zeqiraj, Dr J J B Cockburn

Funded PhD – A new dimension of RAS regulation in cancer - HLSUOB26

University of Bristol

School of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences

About the project. A major driver of many cancers is the abnormal activation of the RAS signalling pathway. Although RAS itself has been extensively studied, less is known about how the broader network of proteins that regulate and respond to RAS signalling is organised and controlled within cancer cells. Read more

Supervisors: Dr S Koh, Dr J Lees, Dr JR Rees, Dr P Curnow

Investigating the interaction of La related proteins with colliding ribosomes

The University of Manchester

Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

Research Group: Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

How do cells keep making the right proteins when conditions become stressful? Protein synthesis is one of the most fundamental processes in biology, yet ribosomes do not move smoothly along every mRNA. Read more
