MSc by Research: ADP-ribosylation in dementia and motor neuron disease

ADP-ribosylation is a fundamental posttranslational modification where ADP-ribose is linked on to target proteins by ADP-ribose transferases and removed by the ADP-ribose hydrolases. Read more

Investigating age-related biochemical changes in motor neurons using an induced pluripotent stem cell in vitro model.

The studentship aims to develop an in vitro model of human motor neurons, which can be used to investigate age-related impairment of motor neuron function and identify new treatments that can be used to treat chronic diseases associated with ageing. Read more
