Looping DNA for nanotech and biomedicine using computer simulations
DNA is commonly pictured as a perfect double helix, although it is mechanically distorted inside our bodies. Inside cells, DNA loops and ‘supercoils’ (coils on itself) to facilitate the main genetic operations such as gene activation and genome replication. Read more
Advanced biomaterial based pharmaceutical formulations
While traditional, small molecule drugs continue to play a significant role due to their oral bioavailability, they also suffer from lower selectivity, frequently accompanied with side-effects. Read more
EastBio: The mitotic tsunami: how cells re-build their identity in G1.
The Buonomo and Gilbert groups aim at building an understanding of the eukaryotic nuclear function that integrates knowledge from what are traditionally viewed as different fields, such as epigenetics, DNA replication and nuclear architecture. Read more
Development of effective phage cocktails for precise crop protection measures
Crop production plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security and maintaining economic stability, especially with the global population projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, necessitating a 70% increase in food production. Read more
EastBio: Revealing gene networks that control cereal development
All cereal crops are grasses, meaning that the grass family provides more than 50% of global calories. The grass leaf underpins this crucial productivity and yet we do not understand the gene regulatory networks that control its development. Read more

Trusted AI for Diabetes personalised self-management systems
Diabetes mellitus is a common cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe. Type 2 diabetes continues to rise in prevalence annually; from 1980 to 2004, Type 2 quadrupled in both prevalence and incidence [1]. Read more
Using catalysis to develop communication links between polymer nanoparticles
Background. Nanotechnology is beginning to revolutionise the way that we design, build and use materials. For example, many COVID-19 vaccines contain nanoparticles that protect and deliver genetic material to cells. Read more
Using rotaxanes to develop communication links between polymer nanoparticles
Background. Nanotechnology is beginning to revolutionise the way that we design, build and use materials. For example, many COVID-19 vaccines contain nanoparticles that protect and deliver genetic material to cells. Read more
Targeting the sweet tooth to curb population-wide sugar intake
Excess intake of dietary sugars are a major contributor to obesity, and type 2 diabetes and 82% of people state that taste is the major determinant of what they buy and eat. Read more
Exploring the interplay between ageing, gut microbiome, and neurodegenerative diseases
Project Overview. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease represent major health risks in ageing societies. Read more
Investigating lysosomal (dys)function in ageing and neurodegeneration
Project Overview. Ageing is associated with a decline in the functions of an organism (López-Otín, C. et al. Cell, 2023) and correlates with an increased risk of developing diseases in the later life (Niccoli, T. Read more
