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.

MSc by Research: Conserved function of gut microbiome in mouse, fruit fly and Caenorhabditis elegans

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: Systems-level approaches to understanding mechanisms of cellular senescence and aging

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Age-associated physiological decline is characterized by loss of resilience towards stress and injury. Understanding mechanisms of resilience is a global challenge due to the demographic shift towards aging populations. Cellular senescence is a clinically important phenotype that is both pro-aging and tumor suppressive. Read more

MSc by Research: Regulation of Kinetochore function by PLK1

University of Dundee

Faculty of Life Sciences

Accurate partition of the duplicated genome during cell division is crucial for cellular viability and organismal development. Chromosome mis-segregation is a major source of aneuploidy and it is a hallmark of cancer, while in oocytes represents the major source of miscarriages and genetic disease. Read more
