Fungal biosynthesis of compounds for enteric methane mitigation
Thirty-five percent of New Zealand’s gross greenhouse gas emissions are a result of methane production in our grazing sheep and cattle. Read more
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more
Mechanisms of growth and virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other pathogenic mycobacteria
Sequenced genomes of mycobacteria, including the human tuberculosis causing pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis, reveal a number of genes dedicated to lipid biosynthesis and transport. Read more
Epitranscriptomic mechanisms in the maternal to zygotic transition of vertebrate embryos
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Most mRNAs contain modified nucleotides in mRNA, but we know very little about their function (Haussmann et al, 2016, Dezi et al, 2016, Roignant and Soller, 2017). Read more
Determining novel molecular regulators of necrosis controlling premature cell death
Necrosis, a form of premature cell death, is frequently caused by excessive insults such as trauma, infection and toxins. It has been implicated in many human diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and inflammatory diseases. 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

Investigating the relationship between two unique apicomplexan parasite organelles: the Eimeria refractile body and Plasmodium crystalloid
Apicomplexan parasites are widespread protozoan parasites of animals. The phylum Apicomplexa contains thousands of species and includes major pathogens of humans, domestic animals and livestock. Read more
Development of new therapies for immunothrombotic disease.
The Preston lab (www.prestonlab.com) at RCSI is seeking to recruit 2 x PhD students to join an SFI-funded research programme studying molecular pathways at the interface of blood coagulation and innate immunity. Read more
Exploiting metabolic vulnerabilities induced by dietary restriction as novel therapies for infant leukaemia
TO APPLY, CLICK 'INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Infant leukaemia is an aggressive malignancy with cure rates of less than 50%. Importantly, despite large international trials, there has been no improvement in survival over the last 2 decades. Read more
