Face off – Dissecting the role of phase separation in viral replication and antiviral responses
Background. The assembly of membraneless organelles is emerging as a fundamental paradigm for many cellular functions. Among these, stress granules (SGs) play a central role in health and disease by concentrating proteins and RNAs, driving adaption to stressful conditions, including viral infection. Read more
Bioinformatics
About us. We aim to develop strategies for pandemic preparedness to combat viral infections. Read more
Control and inhibition of virus replication
The Tuplin laboratory utilises a range of cutting-edge approaches to investigate how arboviruses - specifically Chikungunya, Dengue and Zika viruses - control replication and translation of their genomes through interactions between RNA structures, host cell proteins and non-coding RNA, and the potential of such RNA elements/interactions as novel therapeutic targets.

Identification and characterisation of novel flavivirus protease cleavages sites in mammalian and insect cells using N-terminomics
Positive sense single stranded RNA viruses translate their large open reading frames as a polyprotein that is cleaved by viral and/or host proteases to release mature viral proteins. Read more
Accelerating molecular phylogenetic inference using high performance computing.
Molecular phylogenetic inference, constructing evolutionary histories from molecular data, is an activity universal to all biological disciplines. Read more
How do pore-forming proteins, used in infection and immunity, assemble to puncture membranes of target cells and elicit cell killing?
Seeking a curious PhD student to join our interdisciplinary Structural Virology and Molecular. Machines group at the EMBL Australia Node in Single Molecule Science (SMS) at UNSW Sydney. Read more
How do viral capsids subvert host defences and deliver viral genomes into the host cell nucleus?
Seeking a curious PhD student to join our interdisciplinary Structural Virology and Molecular. Machines group at the EMBL Australia Node in Single Molecule Science (SMS) at UNSW Sydney. Read more
Cell biology of influenza A virus infections: Mechanistic research at the interface of virus entry and host proteins and processes.
Viruses are obligatory parasites that hijack cellular functions to survive. Virus entry - the steps before viral replication begins -is regulated by multitude of host proteins and processes that interact with the incoming virus. Read more
PhD Studentship: Exploiting viral ecology to combat problem organisms in biological wastewater treatment
Overview. In nature, viruses drive bacterial abundance, activity, and community composition. they are responsible for up to 100% of bacterial mortality every day, severely affecting ecosystem function. Read more
Investigating the pathogenesis of human papillomavirus (HPV) in anal cancers
Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with ~5% of all human cancers, in particular cervical cancer. Whilst less common, HPV is also associated with the vast majority (~93%) of anal cancers in the UK. Read more
Virus pathogenesis: interplay between the unfolded protein response and innate immunity.
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a cellular homeostatic response in restoring endoplasmic reticulum balance upon stress conditions e.g. Read more
Identifying the impact of genetic variants of MICB associated with severe and symptomatic dengue virus infection on NK and CD8+ T cell function
Supervisors. Dr Laura Rivino (Bristol, lead supervisor), Dr Edward Wang (Cardiff), Dr Richard Stanton (Cardiff), Prof Nicholas Timpson (Bristol), Dr Sophie Yacoub (Oxford University Clinical Research Unit, HCMC, Vietnam). Read more
