Understanding how mutations in the kinase TLK2 cause a neurodevelopmental disorder
Tousled-like kinase 2 (TLK2) was recently identified as a novel genetic locus for a neurodevelopmental disorder. Patients predominantly possess de novo mutations in TLK2, leading to a reduction in its expression or kinase activity. Read more
Role of the endosomal pathway in regulating sleep and circadian rhythms
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
Discovery and functional investigation of the shared molecular mechanisms of host immunoregulation by the pathogens that cause malaria and sepsis.
Infectious diseases cause enormous humanitarian and economic burdens worldwide. Designing interventions that prevent, cure, or control many infections is difficult because pathogens have evolved sophisticated ways of subverting host immunity. Read more
Investigating the role and regulation of membraneless granules for the development of T. brucei
Adaptation to a change of environment is an essential process for survival, in particular for parasitic organisms exposed to a wide range of hosts. Read more
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more
Chemical modification of proteins via metal-mediated processes
Chemically modified proteins can be used to understand, treat, and diagnose disease. However, relatively few chemical reactions can be used to modify proteins, severely limiting the diversity and applications of new technologies. Read more
Understanding interactions of proteins with polymer-coated nanoparticles
Introduction. Polymer-coated nanoparticles are promising drug delivery vehicles. Multiple functionalities can be embedded into the nanoparticle structure to enable uptake of the drug-like molecules, their targeted delivery and controlled release. Read more
Making sense of antigenic variation in trypanosomes: a nuclear factory with a switching problem
Trypanosomes are master of disguise. African trypanosomes cause huge morbidity and economic burden amongst some of the world’s poorest populations. Read more
Ion channel signalling in cancer cells
Our cells constantly sense and transport ions present in their environment. From embryonic development to epilepsy to heart disease to cancer, our cells’ ability to respond to changes in the ionic microenvironment is essential for healthy ageing. Read more
Therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles from different mesenchymal stem cell subtypes
Human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are found in adult tissues such as bone marrow and are able to differentiate into bone, cartilage and fat tissues. Read more
Unraveling the Impact of Epigenetic and Microenvironmental Factors on Breast Cancer Development and Progression
Breast cancer is a complex disease with multifaceted aetiology, and understanding the processes that regulate disease development and progression is crucial for improving diagnostics and treatment strategies. Read more
ChemGlycoSEPSI: chemical glycobiology for the study and exploitation of Pseudaminic acid sugars in infectious diseases
Pseudaminic acid (Pse) is a rare non-mammalian sialic acid-like sugar present on the surface of a number of bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter… Read more
Studying protein homeostasis in healthy and malignant stem cells
This PhD will focus on studying the protein biology of healthy and malignant stem cells of the blood system. Read more
