Translational regulation by alternate transcript isoforms

University of Sheffield
School of Biosciences
How does a cell regulate the amount of protein made from a gene? While transcriptional regulation is extensively studied, the rules governing translation efficiency, how effectively an mRNA transcript is turned into protein, remains less well explored. Read more

Life and death in the age of vancomycin: visualising how Clostridioides difficile survives antibiotic treatment at the single cell level.

University of Sheffield
School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences
What if giving a patient more antibiotic let more bacteria survive?. That is what happens with Clostridioides difficile, the human pathogen that kills more than 2,000 people every year in the UK alone. Read more

Going Through a Phase: Decoding Surface Variation and Glycan Switching in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

University of Sheffield
School of Clinical Dentistry
Bacterial surface structures dynamically remodel to survive host immune pressures. In Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a high-frequency genetic mechanism known as phase variation toggles surface protein and glycan expression ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’. Read more

Engineering Stomatal Dynamics: Cell Wall Architecture, Remodelling and Deformation

University of Sheffield
School of Biosciences
How do plants control their stomata, the microscopic pores that determine how much CO₂ they take up and how much water they lose? Stomata open and close rapidly, requiring guard cells to undergo dramatic changes in shape and volume and the cell wall surrounding these cells must simultaneously be strong enough to constrain their shape and sufficiently dynamic to allow movement.

Multi-wavelength Raman spectroscopy for non-invasive differentiation of ageing and metabolic risk signatures in blood plasma and saliva

University of Leeds
Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership
Project Description. Could a simple saliva sample one day replace a blood test for health screening? This PhD project uses a laser-based technique called Raman spectroscopy, which reveals a chemical "fingerprint" of a biological sample without needles, chemical labels or lengthy lab processing.
