MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Targeting the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) as a strategy to ameliorate the burden of age-related fibrotic disease

This project will investigate how ageing cells contribute directly to fibrosis, a major feature of many age-related diseases. Senescent cells accumulate with age because they are no longer efficiently removed by the immune system. Read more
 Supervisors: Prof E Laird, Prof R Medina-Benavente

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Beyond the peak: Detecting cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in diabetes using Taylor-Fourier analysis of wearable photoplethysmography

Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) damages the nerves that control heart rate and blood-pressure. It affects about one in three people with diabetes, and is linked to substantially higher risks of cardiovascular disease and early death. Read more

The Double-edged Sword of Sex-specific Immune Responsiveness

Female individuals are better able to cope with certain infections. On the other hand, females suffer from autoimmune diseases significantly more often than males1. Read more

Reading tissue history and exposures using spatial single-cell genomics

Every cell carries a record of its past. Somatic mutations and DNA methylation changes accumulate as cells divide and as tissues encounter chemicals in the environment, leaving marks that reveal how tissues are built, maintained, and damaged [1,2,3]. Read more

Designing peptides to uncover cancer vulnerabilities at telomeres

How do cells copy chromosome ends whose protection depends on restricting access to DNA? Telomeres are protected by shelterin, a protein complex that prevents chromosome ends from being mistaken for broken DNA. Read more

Quantifying drug response in cancer using 4D using Oblique Plane Microscopy and Optical Coherence Tomography

Heterogeneity in drug response is a confounder to successful cancer treatment. Even within genetically identical populations, cells respond differently to drugs due to factors including stochasticity in gene expression, cell cycle phase/state and the environment. Read more
