MSc by Research: Understanding temperature-dependent virulence regulation in bacterial pathogens

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Bacterial pathogens respond rapidly to environmental change, in ways that can influence their growth, virulence, antimicrobial resistance and, therefore, infection outcomes. Read more

Supervisor: Dr D Neill

MSc by Research: Non-canonical functions of SRSF protein kinase (SRPK) in pluripotent stem cells

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

The overarching goal of our research is to identify and characterise the protein kinase signalling pathways that control stem cell pluripotency and differentiation and determine how protein kinase signalling is disrupted to cause human developmental disorders. Read more

MSc by Research: Targeted protein degradation in plants – developing “Green PROTACs” for functional analysis of lethal genes

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. Read more

MSc by Research: Feel the tension – how does S-acylation of OSCA ion channels regulate responses to environmental change in plants?

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Plants, being sessile organisms, must sense and respond to environmental change, such as temperature or drought, without being able to move. Read more

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

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

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

MSc by Research: Investigating the tumor suppressor functions of chromatin remodelling

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

One of the unanticipated outcomes of population based genome sequencing has been the finding that genes involved in the regulation of many genes are mutated at high frequency in tissue specific cancers. Read more

MSc by Research: Deciphering the ubiquitin codes that regulate protein degradation

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Ubiquitin signalling, which involves the posttranslational modification (PTM) of proteins with ubiquitin, regulates almost every aspect of eukaryotic biology. Read more

MSc by Research: Monitoring and manipulating kinase activity in stem cells

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Posttranslational modifications of proteins are important regulatory events that impact most if not all physiological functions of cells. Read more

MSc by Research: Genetic interactions and novel genes that regulate lignin biosynthesis and straw quality in barley

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Lignin is a major component of plant cell walls, and has a significant influence on the digestibility and uses of plant biomass. The lignin biosynthesis pathway has been one of the most intensively studied. Read more

MSc by Research: Using genome editing to study the mechanisms of immune cell proliferation and differentiation

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

T lymphocytes mediate long-term adaptive immunity to viruses and tumour cells. T lymphocytes recognize foreign antigens via specific interactions with the T cell receptor (TCR) that is expressed on the cell surface. Read more

Supervisor: Dr T Ly

MSc by Research: Targeted protein post-translational modification to rewire cell signalling

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, such as ubiquitylation and phosphorylation, are fundamental determinants of protein function and cellular signalling. Read more

MSc by Research: How are SUMO substrates selected for modification ?

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

SUMO has diverse roles in cellular physiology that in most cases are mediated by its ability to interact non-covalently with hydrophobic patches of low sequence complexity known as SUMO Interaction Motifs (SIMs). Read more

MSc by Research: Unravelling the molecular mechanism underpinning Ubiquitin-like fusion protein proteolysis

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

The biological complexity observed in living organisms greatly exceeds the number of different forms of proteins (the proteome) that the encoding genomes would predict. Read more
