Fuelling proliferation: how transporters control metabolism in development and cancer

Many cancers lose their differentiated identity and revert to a stem cell-like state. This project asks whether they do so in part by reactivating the metabolic programmes that drive growth in early development, and whether membrane transporters are important regulators of this. Read more

Mutate, model, predict: uncovering how regulatory elements encode gene expression dynamics

How does our genome ensure that the right genes are expressed in the right cells and at the right time during development? Although much of this control is encoded in non-coding, cis-regulatory elements, we still lack the ability to predict how regulatory DNA contributes to precise gene expression outputs. Read more
