Mitochondrial protein folding and diseases

University of Liverpool
Institute of Integrative Biology

Prof L-Y Lian, Dr D Criddle

Applications accepted all year round

Many diseases, including cancer and neurological disease, stem from mitochondrial dysfunctions often triggered by sudden elevation of agents such as calcium and reactive oxygen species.

Membrane protein misfolding and disease: quality control pathways

University of Manchester
Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Dr L Swanton, Prof P Woodman

Applications accepted all year round

Misfolded proteins represent a continuous threat to cell viability, and if allowed to accumulate, can disrupt cellular function and induce cell death.

A mechanistic understanding of circadian clock-dependent regulation of the secretory pathway

University of Manchester
Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Prof K E Kadler, Dr Q-J Meng, Dr J Swift

Applications accepted all year round

The protein secretory pathway comprises a series of membranous compartments and transport vesicles that cells use to synthesise, post-translationally modify, and move proteins for delivery to the plasma membrane or for secretion to the extracellular matrix.
