Destroying cancer-causing proteins
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is an emerging modality for both research and therapeutics. TPD harnesses the cellular protein degradation pathways to target the destruction of target proteins. Read more

Ameliorating ageing, age-related diseases and cancer by targeting senescence and the p53 pathway.
Ageing is a process defined by the accumulation of old (senescent) cells in tissues. It has been shown that senescent cells interfere with the normal functions of most organs and thus lead to the phenotypic changes associated with ageing, as well as the establishment of age-related diseases.

Unravelling the Mechanisms of Heme Delivery and Its Role in Cancer Biology
Heme is a vital small molecule involved in the function of numerous proteins. It plays key roles, such as binding oxygen in globins and facilitating electron transfer in cytochromes. Read more

Evaluating the impact of chemically reactive metabolites in premature ageing
While most biological molecules are not that chemically reactive, some are very reactive and can significantly affect our health. Read more

Understanding HDAC1 recruitment into diverse multi-protein complexes
The DNA of all eukaryotic organisms is packaged with histone proteins to form chromatin. Chromatin forms a physical barrier to all processes that need access to DNA (e.g., transcription). Read more
A new approach to understanding the role of tumour microenvironment in anticancer drug resistance
St George’s, University of London
MRC London Intercollegiate Doctoral Training Partnership Studentships
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer with the most rapidly growing incidence in the UK. In melanoma, like in many other cancers, the tumour microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in driving anticancer drug resistance. Read more
Next generation nano-photonic biosensors for early diagnosis of cancers
Project ID. DTC_10. Theme: Health Innovation. One of the 21st century's main challenges is human health. For healthy ageing and improved patient outcomes we need to detect cancer earlier to provide the best opportunity for successful treatment options. Read more
Reading, writing and molecular switching in the DNA-damage response
The proposed project revolves around a fascinating and unique class of regulatory proteins that seem to function as molecular shape-shifters, able to adopt a number of distinct structural forms each tailored to functionally specific downstream signalling processes. Read more

Regulation of RNA:DNA hybrid metabolism for genome stability
Proper regulation of RNA:DNA hybrids such as misincorporated ribonucleotides and R-loops is important for genome stability and healthy development. Read more

Visualisation of the steps in the replisome assembly process.
Defects in the maintenance of genome integrity are the foremost drivers of cellular deterioration leading to neuropathology and cancer development in humans. Read more

Investigating the significance of PRMT1 methylation for chromatin biology
Arginine methylation is a post-translational modification that regulates many cellular processes including gene expression, genome stability… Read more
Mathematical and computational modelling of organoids
The project. Organoids, miniature organ-like structures cultivated in the lab from stem or progenitor cells, have huge potential for biomedical research and tissue engineering. Read more
Integrative AI-driven multi-omics analysis to decode the tumour microenvironment and its clinical implications in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The project. With over 1.5 million deaths annually, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Read more
