MSc by Research: Role and mechanism of the bacterial Type VI secretion system

University of Dundee
Faculty of Life Sciences
Many species of bacteria use a contractile nanomachine known as the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to deliver a wide range of toxic proteins, known as ‘effectors’, directly into neighbouring cells. Read more

MSc by Research: Identifying microbiota responsible for longevity and health

University of Dundee
Faculty of Life Sciences
Gut microbiome is the community of microbes living together in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal. They provide specific functions to the animal host such as digestion of cellulose and protection from invading pathogens. Read more

MSc by Research: Characterisation of human induced pluripotent stem cell derived kidney organoid system for use in drug discovery

University of Dundee
Faculty of Life Sciences
Only 5% of all drugs tested in animal models are approved for human applications. Most of these failures are due to unexpected toxicity or lack of efficacy. The poor translation from small mammal studies to humans often causes this challenge. Read more

MSc by Research: Targeting ‘Undruggable’ Oncoproteins via Induced Proximity

University of Dundee
Faculty of Life Sciences
Many well-established cancer drivers, such as K-Ras and β-catenin, have long been considered ‘undruggable’, as traditional drug development approaches have failed to effectively inhibit their activity. Read more

MSc by Research: Functional mechanisms and inhibition of biomedically important calcium channels

University of Dundee
Faculty of Life Sciences
Ion channels are key components in every cell, bridging cell and organellar membranes for the traversal of charged species. Calcium channels are of particular physiological importance because of the central role calcium plays in cell signalling and cell death. Read more

MSc by Research: Why are inhibitors of the protein kinase IRAK4 failing in Clinical Trials?

University of Dundee
Faculty of Life Sciences
Hyperactivation of the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signalling pathway is a major cause of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, suggesting that specific inhibitors of this pathway may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of diseases such as asthma, arthritis, colitis, lupus, psoriasis, and sepsis.
