Determining brain glycosylation in ageing and Alzheimer’s disease
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Increasing age is associated with lower levels of cognitive performance; concomitant with this is a decrease in brain glucose metabolism. Read more
Exploring the structure and function of protein complexes by high-resolution cryo-EM
Outline & aims. Highly specialised protein complexes are critical regulators of cell division and homeostasis. Read more

The role of plant metallothioneins in drought tolerance and zinc seed filling
Minerals are essential for all organisms, including plants and animals. It is estimated that over 2 billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiency, with severe health and socio-economical consequences. Read more

Development of scale-down plasmid DNA primary recovery systems and their application to investigate the impact of upstream and downstream process conditions on critical product quality attributes
About the Project. Plasmid DNA(pDNA) is not only a promising biotherapeutic itself but also an essential intermediate product for many in-vivo gene therapeutics. Read more
Investigating the Roles for deSUMOylation Enzyme SENP3 in Autophagy Impaired by α-synuclein
Aggregation of α-synuclein protein in neuronal cells has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders (Synucleinopathies) including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Read more
Evolving novel yeast expression hosts for large scale biomaterial and biologic production
Evolving novel yeast expression hosts for large scale biomaterial and biologic production Protein-based structures are finding increasing use as either therapeutics or as scaffolds in regenerative medicine due to their specificity and sustainability. Read more
Identification and characterisation of bacteriocins from environmental samples active against strains of Clostridium difficile.
Clostridiodes difficile is a cause of neonatal enteritis in livestock such as pigs, cattle and horses. Affected animals develop respiratory problems, abdominal distention and bloody diarrhoea leading to weight loss and in extreme cases mortality. Read more
Better together: constructing engineered protein oligomers using synthetic biology
One of the most important events a protein will undergo is associating with itself or other proteins to from a functional complex; this is known as oligomerisation. Read more

Cell-to-cell spread of Marek's Disease Virus
The sustainability of global food production is under threat from the increase in human population, reduced availability of natural resources and climate change. Read more
How do RNA-binding proteins control splice site selection? A multi-disciplinary approach.
Almost every protein-coding gene in vertebrates can and does express multiple proteins. This is achieved primarily by RNA splicing, which is an essential step in gene expression in mammals and generates incredible diversity. Read more
Obtaining an integrated understanding of oncogenic RAS signalling
The RAS family of small GTPases act as signalling hubs regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. The physiological importance of RAS signalling is evident as about 25% of all human cancers harbour mutations in ras genes, where kras is most frequently mutated (about 18%) (COSMIC, v94). Read more
