EastBio: Resolution of chromosomal DNA bridge at the septum in E. coli

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Cell division is essential to life and DNA molecules need to segregate safely and appropriately during this process. Following DNA damage, entrapped DNA at the cell division site, referred to here as ‘DNA bridges’, may form between dividing cells. Read more

EastBio: Powering the Synapse: Solving How a Disease Gene Keeps Neurons Talking

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Background. Neurons communicate by releasing neurotransmitter from synaptic vesicles at the presynaptic terminal, and they must do so repeatedly and at high frequency from a small local pool of vesicles. Read more

EastBio: Phospho-regulation of microtubule-associated proteins in meiosis

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Genes must be passed on accurately from cell to cell and from parents to children. Failure to do so can be a cause or contributing factor in human illnesses, such as cancer or reproductive problems/congenital conditions. Read more

EastBio: Cryptostasis: dissecting roles of the Cryptococcus neoformans proteasome through structure informed analysis

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Cryptococcus neoformans is an important human fungal pathogen with a fascinating life cycle, forming polyploid titan cells during infection in a bid to evade the immune system. Read more

EastBio: Mechanisms of Argonaute-mediated RNA silencing in Cryptococcus

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
RNA interference (RNAi) is an ancient system of genome regulation playing important roles in gene regulation and genome stability, in particular controlling transposable element activity. Read more

EastBio: Cleaning Up the Mess: Ribonucleases Protect the MRSA Genome During Infection

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Bacterial ribonucleases play crucial roles in remodeling the transcriptome during infection, allowing pathogens to rapidly adapt to host immune responses. Read more

EastBio: Role of molecular gradients in haematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) development

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute for Regeneration and Repair
During embryonic development haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) emerge in the AGM region from the endothelial floor of the dorsal aorta. Read more

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: Characterisation of a completely new virus lineage infecting animals

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology and Evolution
Drosophila melanogaster is the foremost laboratory model for viral infection of invertebrates, and through metagenomic discovery our group has now identified more than 200 viruses that naturally infect Drosophilidae. Read more

EastBio: Unraveling genetic constraints on evolutionary trajectories: A quantitative genetics analysis of life history, dispersal, and aging in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
Understanding how genetic constraints shape evolutionary trajectories is fundamental to evolutionary biology, yet empirical estimates in invertebrate systems are limited. Read more

EastBio: Identification of telomere-binding proteins in human pathogenic fungi Cryptococcus neoformans

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Humans are infected by Cryptococcus from breathing fungal spores. This leads to developing cryptococcosis, which is accompanied by infection in lungs, brain and other parts of the body and causing more than 600,000 human deaths annually. Read more

EastBio: How can eukaryotic cells sense so many different types of stress and yet employ only a few stress-response pathways?

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
Eukaryotic cells are constantly exposed to a diverse range of external and environmental stresses during their normal life cycle; these include heat, osmotic stress, oxidative stress, nutrient deprivation, and heavy metals. Read more
