Targeting ageing and neurodegenerative diseases using the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster

Royal Holloway, University of London School of Biological Sciences
In the last 20 years the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster emerged as a pre-eminent model system for studying changes that occur during both normal and pathological ageing (~75 per cent of the genes that cause disease in humans are also found in the fruit fly!). Read more
 Supervisor: Dr H Augustin

The use of Drosophila melanogaster to identify novel therapeutic agents for Alzheimer’s disease

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences
Since 2003, our understanding of the causes of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have improved considerably, however, in that time only one new drug treatment has been approved. Read more

Analysis of pathogen determinants recognized by the hypervariable immune receptor Dscam

University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
Background. To mount an immune response, host organisms must first recognize the pathogen with which they are infected. The first line of defense against pathogen infection in animals is provided through the innate immune response. Read more

Deciphering the landscape of nucleoporin and lamin function in nucleocytoplasmic communication, nuclear scaffolding and transcriptional control in disease prevention

University of Greenwich School of Pharmacy (Medway Campus)
The nucleus has an instrumental role in cellular responses by coordinating shuttling of components in and out of the nucleus and gene expression with genome architecture and stability. Read more

The role of calcium signalling in regulating of tumour cell behaviour

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences
Metastasis is the major cause of mortality in human cancers, yet we know relatively little of the fundamental biology that underlies the important transition to invasive malignancy. Read more

Using cryo-electron microscopy to study large protein complexes that mediate the female post-mating response

University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences
In many animals, male seminal fluid alters female physiology and post-mating behaviour to ensure paternity of the offspring. However, how seminal fluid components elicit these post-mating responses is poorly understood. Read more

Probing Death Decisions from Morphogen Gradient Fields

University of Liverpool Department of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine
Morphogen gradient scaling is one of the hottest fields in developmental biology at the moment. Scaling is fundamental, explaining how the machinery that controls pattern formation in development (the morphogens) can adapt, so that organs of different sizes show morphological structures which are proportioned.

Role of the endosomal pathway in regulating sleep and circadian rhythms

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute
Ageing and many neurodegenerative disorders are characterised by a progressive loss of neurons in particular brain regions leading to behavioural changes including cognitive decline, sleep disruption and circadian dysregulation. Read more

How do RNA-binding proteins control splice site selection? A multi-disciplinary approach

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology
Almost every protein-coding gene in vertebrates can and does express multiple proteins. This is achieved primarily by RNA splicing, which is an essential step in gene expression in mammals and generates incredible diversity. Read more
