Bioelectrical control of epithelial cell behaviour

Bioelectrical behaviours, such as ion transport and action potential firing, are key features of “excitable” neuronal and muscle cells but are less well understood in “non-excitable” epithelial cells. Read more

How to build and maintain a 3-dimensional polarised epithelial sheet

We are interested in how cells maintain normal cell shape within an epithelium. Correct epithelial cell shape is essential to maintain tissue integrity and when deregulated can cause diseases such as malignant cancers, diabetes, inflammation, and aging. Read more

Molecular Silencing of Epithelial Sodium Channel (ENaC) using a Peptide Technology to Deliver Treatment for Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by a progressive decline in lung function and tissue damage associated with mucus obstruction of the airways, impaired clearance mechanisms and chronic cycles of inflammation and infection. Read more

MSc by Research: Cell migration in epithelial tissues

It is an important question to answer how cells move in a crowded environment. . In this project, we’ll use the vertex model (a widely used computational framework for cell-based studies of epithelial tissue mechanics) to study motion of a small patch of motile cells in otherwise inert environment. . Read more

Investigating neutrophil activation and altered epithelial structure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by poorly reversible and often progressive airflow obstruction, accompanied by persistent airway inflammation as a consequence of exposure to inhaled noxious particles such as cigarette smoke. Read more

The role of planar cell polarity in developmental tissue fusion

Fusion of epithelial sheets during embryonic development is essential for all multicellular organisms, and maintaining subsequent epithelial integrity in organs throughout the life-course supports lifelong health. Read more
