EastBio - How Plants Breathe in a Warming World: Temperature Control of Stomata Development

Mean global temperatures have already risen by 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and could climb by another 4°C by 2100. Climate change is already affecting crop yields, and without effective mitigation, global yields of major crops could decline by as much as 36% by the end of the century. Read more

EastBio - Post transcriptional control of the segmentation clock and somitogenesis

During early embryogenesis, segments (somites) are formed during a process called somitogenesis. These somites will go on to form the bones and muscles of the skeleton. Read more

EastBio - How does cell size control cell fate? - studying cell fate specification in the developing nervous system

We all have started as a single cell, the egg, yet our bodies consist of hundreds of different cell types. This raises the question of how this cell type diversity is established. Read more

EastBio - Uncovering the non-canonical proteolytic activity of Deubiquitinating enzymes

One of the key challenges in molecular biology is understanding how post-translational modifications regulate protein function. Pathogens and cancer cells are highly effective at hijacking these mechanisms to advance their own agendas. Read more

EastBio - Why does the B cell antibody response wane with ageing?

B lymphocytes (B cells) are key cells of the adaptive immune system producing antibodies which bind to pathogens such as viruses and bacteria and targeting them for destruction. Read more

EastBio - Targeting proteasome assembly to uncover cancer vulnerabilities

Cancer cells must continually remove damaged and unwanted proteins to sustain rapid growth and survive cellular stress. This creates a strong dependence on the proteasome, the molecular machinery responsible for much of the cell’s controlled protein degradation. Read more

EastBio Partnership – Using critical element (Co-Mn-Ni) containing compounds formed through biological processes as precursors for development of high-performance cathode materials for energy storage applications

Currently, Mn-Co-Ni containing oxides are used as cathode materials in commercial lithium ion batteries. Further research into the Co-Mn-Ni-O-H system is investigating phases that have potential in other energy storage applications such as supercapacitor materials or as electrode materials in Na-ion batteries.
