EastBio - Post transcriptional control of the segmentation clock and somitogenesis

During early embryogenesis, segments (somites) are formed during a process called somitogenesis. These somites will go on to form the bones and muscles of the skeleton. Read more

EastBio - New tools to study plant parasite effectors at the interaction interface

Plant parasites form close associations with their host plants and deliver suites of effector molecules, including proteins, inside their host essential for infection or infestation. Read more

Decoding and Designing DNA Replication Origins Using Genome Language Models (NIEDUSZYNSKI_E27DTP)

Project Supervisor - Dr Conrad Nieduszynski. How does a cell know where and when to copy its DNA? And can we use artificial intelligence to design entirely new genetic elements that control this process?. Read more
 Supervisor: Prof C Nieduszynski

A Hostile Niche: How Mutant Blood Stem Cells Damage Their Healthy Neighbours (MISTRY_U27DTP)

Primary Supervisor - Dr Jayna Mistry. As people age, some blood stem cells acquire mutations that give them a growth advantage over their normal counterparts. Read more

Manipulating meiotic crossover control in wheat (MORGAN_J27DTP)

Meiotic recombination generates the genetic diversity on which both evolution and crop breeding depend. In wheat and other cereals, crossovers are strongly biased towards certain regions of the genome, leaving vast stretches almost untouched. Read more

EastBio - How does cell size control cell fate? - studying cell fate specification in the developing nervous system

We all have started as a single cell, the egg, yet our bodies consist of hundreds of different cell types. This raises the question of how this cell type diversity is established. Read more

EastBio - Uncovering the non-canonical proteolytic activity of Deubiquitinating enzymes

One of the key challenges in molecular biology is understanding how post-translational modifications regulate protein function. Pathogens and cancer cells are highly effective at hijacking these mechanisms to advance their own agendas. Read more
