Molecular mechanisms of RNA–Protein interactions and their dysregulation in human disease

King’s College London

Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics

Project Summary. Cells employ RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to control gene expression during development and stress. Many of these proteins contain intrinsically disordered regions and undergo dynamic regulation through post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation. Read more

Supervisor: Dr F Prischi

Unlocking the Secrets of Ageing: Exploring Epigenetic Clocks in the Jewel Wasp Nasonia vitripennis

University of Leicester

Department of Genetics, Genomics and Cancer Sciences

Why do we age, and can that process be slowed? This project explores one of biology’s most fascinating and urgent questions by studying how tiny insects can reveal universal rules of ageing. Read more

Supervisors: Prof E Mallon, Dr K Chen

Regulation of chromatin organisation by cytoskeleton regulators in non-small cell lung cancer

The University of Manchester

Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

Overview. This project will explore recently discovered mechano-sensitive cancer cell signalling pathways and seeks to understand the mechanisms by which force is transmitted from the tumour microenvironment into the nucleus to control tumour growth. Read more

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

Cardiff University

Cardiff School of Biosciences

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

Queen’s University Belfast

School of Pharmacy

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

Towards controlling cell-state switching of neural crest differentiation states in melanoma evolution

The University of Manchester

Division of Molecular and Cellular Function

Melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, exhibits remarkable adaptability, enabling metastasis, therapy resistance, and immune evasion. Central to this adaptability is the ability of melanoma cells to transition between distinct functional states, a process rooted in mechanisms of cell fate choice. Read more
