Using in situ structural biology to resolve immune cell interactions at the nanoscale

University of Leeds

Faculty of Biological Sciences

The immune system's ability to eliminate infected or cancerous cells depends on precisely orchestrated cell-cell interactions. Defining these interactions at the molecular level is fundamental to understand the immune response and to drive development of the next generation of immunotherapies. Read more

Epigenetics and Cancer: Determining how Mistakes in V(D)J Recombination Trigger Leukaemias and Lymphomas

University of Leeds

Faculty of Biological Sciences

Research Group: School of Molecular and Cellular Biology

V(D)J recombination is essential to produce antibody and T-cell receptor genes but since the reaction involves breaking and rejoining DNA, it is highly dangerous and errors have long been thought to lead to leukaemias and lymphomas. Read more

Structural and mechanistic studies of fibroblast growth factor receptor signalling

University of Leeds

Faculty of Biological Sciences

Research Group: Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology

We have identified a previously undiscovered ‘signal switching’ mechanism used by a branch of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family – fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) – that are important in early development but also oncogenic in a range of cancers. Read more
