SLAM-Based UAV Inspection and Docking via ROS
UAV inspection has become a trend in application ranging from search-and-rescue to maintenance. Read more
Exploring the Molecular Mechanism of Novel Mitochondrial Neurotoxins identified through a Machine Learning Approach
Mitochondrial inhibition is an important ‘OFF-target’ mechanism of drug-induced toxicity in the clinic, contributing to drug attrition in clinical trials and drug withdrawal following approval because of severe adverse events 1. Read more
Using novel ferronucleosides to study and regulate DNA replication in cells
Background. Replication of nucleic acid polymers like DNA is an essential process for all known forms of life. Furthermore, dysregulation and errors in DNA-replication are strongly linked with human diseases including cancer, as well as the process of cellular ageing. Read more
Fragment-Based Lead Generation of Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Nsp3 Macrodomain in SARS-CoV-2 – Towards New Antivirals for the Treatment of COVID-19
Fragment-Based Lead Generation of Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Nsp3 Macrodomain in SARS-CoV-2 – Towards New Antivirals for the Treatment of COVID-19. Read more

(EPSRC DTP) Mapping SUMO interactions in DNA repair using EPR, NMR and molecular modelling
Understanding the process by which DNA double-strand breaks are repaired via non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is vital for the design and precision of future anti-cancer medicines and the optimisation of CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing. Read more

EASTBIO: Monoclonal antibodies targeting the fungal cell surface: next generation antifungal therapeutics
Supervisors. Professor Carol Munro -. University of Aberdeen, Institute of Medical Sciences - c.a.munro@abdn.ac.uk. Professor Daan Van Aalten. Read more
Metal-Mediated Modification of Peptides and Proteins
We have shown that robust organometallic complexes can selectively functionalise natural amino acids by targeting nucleophilic residues such as cysteine to provide peptides and proteins with unique structures [1]. Read more
Molecular Modelling of P2X receptor function
P2X receptors (P2XR) are a family of ligand-gated ion channels. P2XRs are activated upon binding of extracellular ATP and allow the influx of small cations after channel opening. Read more
Self Funded BMS Project: Fragment-Based Lead Generation of Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Nsp3 Macrodomain in SARS-CoV-2 – Towards New Antivirals for the Treatment of COVID-19
Applications accepted for PhD Only. Background. Coronaviruses (CoVs) are important human pathogens and SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic (>260m cases, 5.2m deaths). Read more
Understanding the interaction and functional mechanism of mitochondrial MIA pathway
Mitochondria are vitally important organelles of living cells, which generate the primary energy for all biological activities. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to life threatening diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, and various neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Read more
Simulations and analysis of DNA strucutre in relation to repair pathways
DNA Sequence context plays an important role in the rate at which Nucleic Excision Repair (NER) is able to excise lesions. Small changes in both nearest and further neighbouring bases has been studied, however, the interactions between DNA-carcinogens and these base contexts is largely unknown. Read more
Mission Analysis
Mission analysis concerns the definition, development and preparation phases of a space project, analysing the best satellite orbits to achieve specific objectives within the space mission. Read more
Therapeutic resolution of coronavirus (COVID-19) diseases by natural products
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Coronavirus now labelled as Covid-19 has become a global pandemic affecting around 200 countries. Currently neither any cure nor any vaccine for Covid-19 has been established. Read more
