Are oxidative stress and dysregulated mitophagy involved in the progression of feline chronic kidney disease?
Feline chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a heterogeneous syndrome responsible for >1 in 8 deaths of cats over 5 years of age. Mineral bone disturbance… Read more
Adaptation to oxidative stress in hepatitis C virus persistence: the role of IRES-dependent translation.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes a clinically important disease affecting 3% of the world population (Chan 2014). About 75% of the infection will develop into chronic hepatitis, which can then progress into fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Read more
Mitochondria biogenesis and stress responses in health and disease
Maintenance of functional mitochondria is essential for life and an important therapeutic target in several diseases, including age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Read more
Investigating effects of environmental stressors on ecosystem function using hyperspectral leaf reflectance
There is an increasing urgency to understand the biochemical and physiological responses of plants to global environmental change. Read more
Investigate the novel therapeutic potential for treating heart failure in diabetes.
Heart failure is the most common cause of mortality in diabetes patients, but current diabetes therapies have a limited impact on the incidence of heart failure in diabetic populations. Read more
Evaluation of the therapeutic potential of pharmacological NRF2 activation in hepatic fibrosis

Cell-type dependent pharmacological regulation of cellular mitophagy for therapeutic application in Parkinson’s disease
The cellular quality-control process of mitophagy, entailing selective degradation of defective mitochondria (following damage to their DNA) by the process of autophagy, has attracted considerable research interest. Read more
Exploiting metabolic vulnerabilities induced by dietary restriction as novel therapies for infant leukaemia
TO APPLY, CLICK 'INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Infant leukaemia is an aggressive malignancy with cure rates of less than 50%. Importantly, despite large international trials, there has been no improvement in survival over the last 2 decades. Read more
MVLS/EPSRC - A Chemical Biology Approach to Evaluate the Reversible Oxidation of Methionine in the Regulation of Protein Function.
Research Group:
Institute of Molecular, Cell and Systems Biology
Oxidation of proteins leads to their inactivation and results in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Mammalian cells contain poorly characterised enzymes called methionine sulfoxide reductases that can reverse the oxidation of methionine and protect proteins from oxidative damage. Read more
Methods of modulation of mitochondrial function in glaucoma
Background. Glaucoma is a common, irreversible, optic neuropathy affecting the vision of predominantly older adults that slowly progresses over a period of years. Read more
