UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: The role of membrane dynamics in the polarisation of cells during embryo development

How does a cell know where to put the right proteins at the right time?. Cell polarity, the asymmetric organisation of cellular components, is essential for healthy development. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr J Rodriguez

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Novel nutrient transporters in plant development and resilience

Amino acids are the primary form of organic nitrogen transported in plants and play many essential roles in growth, development and adaptation to stress. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr C Anderson

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Network science of the soil microbiome: linking long-term fertilisation to plant function and productivity

What happens to the living soil beneath a grassland when the same fertiliser treatments are continued for more than a century - and do those changes ultimately affect how plants grow?. Read more
 Supervisor: Prof D Evans

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Linking androgen-regulated RNA processing to cardiovascular health

This project will investigate how androgens (sex hormones like testosterone) regulate gene expression in heart cells. Normal health requires genes to be properly expressed by producing the correct types of proteins that cells require for their specific function. Read more

EASTBIO: Profiling the non-cell autonomous impact of astrocytes on neuronal function and health

Neurons are the primary information communicators in the brain, and maintaining their activity and signalling capabilities is critical for effective signal transduction and cognitive health. Read more

EASTBIO: Decoding the dynamics of stress information

Cells in the body are constantly exposed to environmental signals that vary in strength, duration, and frequency. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr N Romano, Dr J Walker, Dr G Whyte

EASTBIO: What determines whether a resistance plasmid establishes and spreads in a new bacterial lineage?

Antibiotic resistance genes are frequently carried on plasmids, which spread horizontally between bacteria and vertically through expansion of successful resistant clones. Read more

EASTBIO: Decoding stress responsive RNA protein interactions and isoform regulation in cardiomyocytes

Cells survive changing environments by rapidly altering how proteins engage with RNA, yet we do not know how cardiomyocytes reorganise their RNA-bound proteome during stress and recovery. Read more

EASTBIO: Characterization of miR-30d-5p as a novel target to help improve vascular function

Healthy endothelial cell function is essential for vascular regulation of adequate blood flow, angiogenesis, and tissue repair. Endothelial cell dysfunction can occur as we age and it contributes to a wide variety of human diseases. Read more

EASTBIO : Establish proximity labelling strategies in zebrafish to capture cellular interactions in vivo

Unravelling the outcomes of cell–cell interactions is fundamental to understanding biological processes. The ability to visualise and track these interactions in vivo greatly enhances our capacity to dissect contact-dependent communication. Read more

Testing the ability of AI-based regional models to capture hydroclimate changes of the geologic past

Background. Before the Anthropocene, climate changed naturally over the course of thousands of years. However, without instrumental observations, we only can indirectly reconstruct climate from proxies in geologic archives. Read more

Exploring the uncertainty in recent global warming trends and related risks of extreme events with a global km-scale model

Background. Since 2020, the energy imbalance at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere has grown at a rate substantially exceeding our expectations. Read more
