Whole genome sequencing from mosquito blood meals (BERGSTROM_U27DTP)

Primary Supervisor - Dr Anders Bergstrom. Mosquitos can be seen as tiny, autonomous samplers of blood from wild animals. It is well-established that mosquito blood meals contain animal DNA, as well as DNA from animal pathogens. Read more

Regulatory switching of a microtubule motor-scaffold complex

A 2027 Crick PhD project with Sami Chaaban. Project background and description. To divide successfully, a cell must build a highly organised microtubule structure, use it to position the division site, and then remodel it as the two daughter cells separate. Read more

Better together: constructing tuneable fluorescent protein sensors for cellular imaging of protein-protein interactions.

  Research Group: Molecular Biosciences
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) commonly occur in biology with ~650,000 contributing to processes critical to human life. From cancer to dementia, their dysregulation contributes to many disease states. Read more

Structure-based design of allosteric modulators for G protein-coupled receptors using molecular modelling and pharmacology experiments

Almost all physiological processes are regulated through the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It has become widely accepted that most GPCRs possess binding sites spatially distinct from their natural ligand binding site (orthosteric site), termed as allosteric sites. Read more

A structural biology approach to understand IMPDH2 rod-ring structures in Embryonic Stem Cells

IMPDH2 is a critical enzyme responsible for the rate limiting step of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. In naïve pluripotent stem cells, it forms large rod-ring structures (RRs) which are hypothesised to control the enzyme’s output when the pool of guanine nucleotides is in high demand. Read more

EastBio: Decoding how m6A reshapes RNA–protein interactions

  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
RNA does not act alone. Its functions are controlled by interactions with hundreds of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which determine where an RNA is localised, how long it survives and whether it is translated. Read more
