The role of extracellular vesicles in lung epithelial cell communication in health and disease
It is estimated that more than 1 bn people suffer from acute and chronic lung problems resulting in millions of deaths every year. 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
Understanding how the bitter taste receptor, T2R38, regulates the intestinal epithelium - a study from microbiota to the intestinal epithelium
Research Group:
Biomedical Research Group
Research Group. Biomedical Research Group. Proposed supervisory team. Dr Havovi Chichger. Theme. Cardiovascular. Summary of the research project. Read more
Microenvironmental mechanics in epithelial morphogenesis and tumorigenesis
Affiliation. Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine. Study program. PhD program Biomedical Sciences. Specialization. Cell and Tissue Morphology. Read more
Antimicrobial potency of the airway epithelium in health and disease
Background. Human lungs must balance elimination of a myriad of toxic or pathogenic particles inhaled daily with maintenance of tissue homeostasis to avoid lung disease and ultimately respiratory failure. Read more
Characterisation of lung epithelial lining fluid in acute lung injury
Viral infections can cause severe life-threatening acute lung injury. Prediction at-risk patients is vital to provide appropriate treatment in advance. Read more
Role of the Rho GTPase RhoD in cancer
Epithelial cancers such as breast cancer become difficult to treat when they invade the surrounding tissues, eventually entering the blood stream and spreading to other parts of the body to form metastases. Read more
Is there a Role for Activated Akt in Palatogenesis?
Main Aim. The project will use a medial edge epithelial (MEE) cell line as an in vitro model. These cells will be used to investigate the effects of exogenous TGFβ-3 and activation of Akt on cell migration, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and apoptosis. Read more
The Role of cell adhesion proteins in healthy and cancerous epithelial cells
The cells’ ability to properly communicate with its environment is fundamental for the healthy development of individual organisms. Read more
Identifying focal points and functional relevance of host-microbe communication during tissue injury and repair
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studentship in Infectious Diseases. Tissue repair is critical for a eukaryotic host to return to homeostasis following acute injuries. Read more
MScR: Role of the Rho GTPase RhoD in breast cancer
Epithelial cancers such as breast cancer become difficult to treat when they invade the surrounding tissues, eventually entering the blood stream and spreading to other parts of the body to form metastases. Read more
The SPICeD project - Spatial transcriptomics to understand Parenchymal-Immune interactions in Coeliac Disease
Theme Overview. The SPICeD project (Spatial transcriptomics to understand Parenchymal-Immune interactions in CoeliacDisease) is a DPhil project to discover and understand cell-cell interactions in the intestinal mucosa in coeliac disease, and their significance in the disease pathology. Read more
Basal stem cells in the lung and their recognition of dying cells
Stem cell division and differentiation is critical for barrier repair following inflammation, but the initial trigger for this process is unknown. Read more
The role of extracellular vesicles in pulmonary epithelium
More than 1bn people suffer from acute and chronic lung problems resulting in millions of deaths every year. The respiratory disorders with the most significant impact on public health are asthma, COPD, lung cancer and lung infections1. Read more
Oral delivery of insulin for diabetes therapy: Development and evaluation of insulin loaded polymer/lipid based carrier systems
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects nearly 500 million people worldwide. Its hallmark feature, hyperglycaemia is caused due to insulin deficiency and/or resistance. Read more
