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
Supervisors. Iwan Evans (primary supervisor); Steve Brown (Biosciences, secondary supervisor). Project details. Control of blood cell proliferation, survival and activation is critical to the health of an organism. Read more
Supervisors. Iwan Evans (primary supervisor); Phil Elks and Simon Johnston (secondary supervisors). Project details. A critical role for phagocytic cells such as macrophages is the engulfment and subsequent degradation of dying cells and debris. Read more
Supervisor(s). Iwan Evans (Primary Supervisor, IICD) and Martin Zeidler (Second Supervisor, Biosciences). Project details. The phagocytic white blood cells known as macrophages are a highly heterogeneous population of cells. Read more
Our world is full of noise sources at different spatial and temporal scales. The temperature and sunlight changes day to night. A receptor protein interacts with its target molecule undergoing Brownian motion. Read more
Defects in spatial genome organisation are linked to human disease and it is speculated that most as yet unidentified disease alleles will occur in non-coding genome regions. Read more
Out of more than 600 E3 ubiquitin ligases in cells, currently only a handful have small molecule binders that can be used for PROteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) and harnessed for targeted protein degradation. Read more
Membranes and their protein organization are a frontier in our understanding of cell biology. We focus on polarized trafficking as a model to uncover fundamental mechanisms in the organization of structures at membranes. Read more
Main Aim. The project will use a medial edge epithelial (MEE) cell line as an in vitro model. These cells will be used to investigate the effects of exogenous TGFβ-3 and activation of Akt on cell migration, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and apoptosis. Read more
Title of the project. Studying novel histone acylations in the regulation of gene expression. Project summary. In the nucleus of eukaryotes, DNA wraps around octamers of histone proteins to form a structure called chromatin. Read more
Host-microbiota homeostasis is pertinent for the maintenance of a healthy state. Chronic inflammatory diseases, which are often linked, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or cardiovascular disease, are characterised by disturbances on both sides. Read more
