EastBio: Building a functional synthetic pyrenoid in plants using components from diverse algal lineages

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Photosynthesis in plants is limited by the catalytic efficiency of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco. In most algae and some bryophytes, the performance of Rubisco is enhanced by a CO2-concentrating mechanism centred around a pyrenoid, a liquid-like, phase-separated microcompartment that saturates Rubisco with CO2.

EastBio: Bet-hedging bacteria: computational modelling of RNA repair and antibiotic survival

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Bacterial cells rarely behave identically, even within a genetically uniform population. This variability underlies heteroresistance, where some cells resist antibiotics better than others despite being genetically identical, allowing infections to persist and relapse. Read more

EASTBIO: From Genes to Function: How Genetic Variation Shapes Corticosteroid-Regulated Kidney Sodium Transport

University of St Andrews
School of Medicine
Precise control of renal Na⁺ transport is fundamental to extracellular fluid volume and long-term blood pressure regulation. Fine-tuning occurs in the renal collecting duct, where corticosteroid hormones regulate Na⁺ reabsorption through the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). Read more
