Pin-ing it down: Understanding the Enigmatic Role of Pin1 in Health and Disease

Pin1 is a prolyl isomerase enzyme that catalyses the cis/trans isomerization of proline residues in over 200 protein substrates. Dysregulation of Pin1 levels is strongly associated with regulation of pathways associated with DNA repair and ageing. Read more

Phages within bacteria: how resident prophages shape bacteriophage treatment

  Research Group: Microbiology and Infection
Most bacteria, including those that cause disease, carry phage genomes called prophages integrated within their chromosomes. These resident phages can alter bacterial fitness, virulence, physiology and susceptibility to other phages that their host encounters. Read more

Designing peptides to uncover cancer vulnerabilities at telomeres

How do cells copy chromosome ends whose protection depends on restricting access to DNA? Telomeres are protected by shelterin, a protein complex that prevents chromosome ends from being mistaken for broken DNA. Read more

(EPSRC DTP) Causal Modelling of Cardiac Dose, Tissue Recovery and Survival in Thoracic Reirradiation

Radiotherapy is used to treat many cancers and plays a key role in cancer care. As patients live longer, increasing numbers require a second course of radiotherapy because their cancer recurs or a new cancer develops in a previously treated area. Read more
