Investigating the communication between cancer cells and cells in the tumour microenvironment to improve our understanding of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms and identify new targets for cancer therapy

University of Nottingham School of Medicine

It is well-established that the molecular mechanisms controlling gene expression are disrupted in cancer cells and work in this area has laid the foundations for targeted cancer therapies. We are interested in the regulatory pathways that control cell proliferation and cell migration and the events that disrupt this control in multiple types of cancer. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Targeting the DNA damage response to overcome cancer dormancy and chemotherapy-resistance

University of Sheffield MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership

Cancer dormancy is a major barrier to curative cancer treatment. Dormant (quiescent) cells do not respond to chemotherapy, which typically kill dividing cells. Read more

How cells regulate chromosome segregation in mitosis and how this goes wrong in cancer

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Human cells store their genetic information in 46 chromosomes. To maintain this vital genetic information, a complete set of chromosomes must be inherited precisely by each daughter cell after cell division. Read more

Biophysical determinants of cell fate decisions in skin inflammatory diseases

University of Oxford Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology

Squamous epithelial tissues, such as the skin epidermis, provide an impermeable protective barrier against external insults. To ensure its maintenance, specialized cells located in its basal layer, known as stem cells, divide and differentiate to replace cells lost through exhaustion and damage. Read more
