BBSRC NWD: Dissecting the diversity of plasminogen-binding cell surface proteins to develop a vaccine for bovine digital dermatitis
Background. Developing vaccines for endemic diseases of livestock is key to reducing antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. Read more
Durham Doctoral Teaching Fellow: Designing DNA Manipulators for Programmable Modification of Artificial Proteins
Proteins can act as superbly effective nanoscale machines as exemplified by the incredible range of enzyme structures and activities. Read more
MSc by Research: Drugging the undruggable targets in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases
Cancer and neurodegenerative diseases are among the most challenging conditions to treat, and as life expectancy increases globally, the burden of these diseases continues to rise. Read more

Combining simulations and microscopy to understand how DNA uses physics to do biology (S3.5-MPS-Harris)
While we have sequenced the genetic codes of over 3000 species, we are still far from understanding how this genetic information is controlled in even the simplest organisms. Read more
Magnetic Nano-particles for the separation and purification of proteins
When proteins are synthesised (using a natural or cell-based method), they are contaminated with hundreds of other proteins, nucleic acids and numerous… 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
Development of formaldehyde-free biobased adhesives based on by-product proteins
The wood-based composite panel industry is an evolving sector that is constantly seeking to adapt to consumer needs and regulations on volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Read more
Magnetic Nano-particles for the separation and purification of proteins
When proteins are synthesised (using a natural or cell-based method), they are contaminated with hundreds of other proteins, nucleic acids and numerous other small molecules. Read more
The role of regulatory evolution in phage ecology
The regulation of genes crucially determines the fitness and function of all organisms. This is particularly relevant for bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, as they rely on a tightly scheduled program for a successful infection. Read more
Predicting the structural ensembles of Intrinsically Disordered regions of proteins: The “alpha-fold” for IDRs
Background. In molecular biology, the study of protein structure has undergone a revolution with recent advances in predictive technologies such as AlphaFold2 and roseTTAFold. Read more

China Scholarship Council: PROTACs in plants - effectiveness, biological mechanisms and implications for use
Agriculture for the future. climate change, expanding populations, emerging pathogens and water constraints. . Food production must increase by 50% by 2050 to feed the global population in the face of climate change, while using less water, pesticide and fertilizer (UN FAO). Read more
Improving chemical and immunological assessment to drive safer development of the new breed of drugs: PROTACS
Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are a new class of drugs with immense potential across multiple therapeutic areas in drug development. Read more
MSc by Research: Designing Molecular Glue Stabilizers to Restore Tumour Suppressor Function
Molecular glues, small molecules that facilitate the assembly of biomolecular complexes, have emerged as a transformative drug discovery strategy for treating diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Read more
