Nutritional immunity: the battle for iron between host and pathogen
The innate immune defence system responds to bacterial infection by reducing the amount of available iron to restrict bacterial growth. Read more
Effect of vitamin D in vascular and endocrine cells
Vitamin D3 deficiency is a common public health problem worldwide that is increasingly believed to contribute not only to decreased bone mineralisation but potentially to other serious medical conditions. Read more
Evolution of vertebrate blood vessels
The blood vessels are the core elements of the circulatory system of animals, and their malfunction is related to most human diseases including cancer and heart attacks. Read more
Investigate the novel therapeutic potential for treating heart failure in diabetes.
Heart failure is the most common cause of mortality in diabetes patients, but current diabetes therapies have a limited impact on the incidence of heart failure in diabetic populations. Read more
How does twitchy link to ciliary function in sperm cells
Cilia are hair-like structures that project from the surface of cells and act as “cellular antennae,” sensing and relaying information from the environment. Read more
Investigation of volatile signalling molecules from interactions between Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans in lung infection
Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans are commensal microbes which can become pathogenic and cause serious illness, especially in hospitalised patients. Read more
A proteomic study of serum from children with neurofibromatosis type 1 autism
Proteomic approaches using mass spectrometric analysis have proved a valuable tool in understanding the molecular pathogenesis of complex disorders such as schizophrenia and ASD. Read more
Identifying the critical downstream targets of sustained ROS production during caudal fin and heart regeneration in zebrafish
A primary goal in regenerative medicine is to identify and implement novel treatments aimed at improving our ability to regenerate injured, diseased or aged tissues and organs, including the heart. Read more
Oxidative protein folding of industrially and pharmaceutically important recombinant proteins
Oxidative protein folding (protein folding and disulphide bond formation) is important for function and stability of many proteins. Read more
The functions of the Class II Pi3-kinase signals in vivo
Phosphoinositide lipids (PIPs) play critical roles in development and the homeostasis of adult tissues and their dysfunction has been linked to major human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, myopathies and neuropathies. Read more
Dissecting the mechanism of pathological aged-related protein aggregation
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Aggregation of aberrant proteins is a hallmark in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. These aggregates cause cell death and tissue degeneration leading to loss of function, hence strategies to reduce aggregation are necessary for delaying disease onset and progression. Read more
Exploring the Molecular Mechanism of Novel Mitochondrial Neurotoxins identified through a Machine Learning Approach
Mitochondrial inhibition is an important ‘OFF-target’ mechanism of drug-induced toxicity in the clinic, contributing to drug attrition in clinical trials and drug withdrawal following approval because of severe adverse events 1. Read more
Elucidating the mechanisms of outer membrane biogenesis in Gram-negative bacteria
The emergence of bacteria that are resistant to available antibiotics represents an enormous and growing global threat requiring new targets and strategies to combat infection. Read more
BBSRC MIBTP - Identification of pathways deregulating neuronal ELAV/Hu RNA binding proteins and alternative splicing in neurodegeneration
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
ELAV/Hu proteins comprise a family of highly conserved neuronal RNA binding proteins important for the development of the nervous system and for neuronal functions. Read more
