(MRC DTP CASE) Developing a cortical organoid model of genetic autism to understand early brain development
Neurodevelopmental conditions including autism and ADHD affect 4-8% of the paediatric population. These conditions present in the preschool period, are highly heritable and can severely affect quality of life, academic and occupational functioning. Read more
(MRC DTP) How is the mucus barrier made? Understanding how the secretory pathway and circadian clock control mucus production and functional properties
Mucus plays a critical role in our body, protecting our mucosal surfaces from infectious agents and foreign bodies, maintaining the microbiome, and providing a key lubrication function that is important for a range of physiological processes. Read more
Engineering fluorescent proteins for live and super-resolution microscopy
Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are small (~30 kDa), genetically encodable fluorophores derived from proteins first found in nature — most famously the jellyfish GFP. Read more
Epigenetic reprogramming in the germ line: the role of an unusual chromatin composition in the pre-meiotic germ cells
Using mouse embryonic development as an experimental model, our long term interest is how epigenetic information is propagated during development and erased in the context of the germ line (zygotic and germline reprogramming). Read more
Uncovering novel rules of cell cycle stage-specific transcriptional regulation
The eukaryotic cell cycle requires coordinated changes in transcription regulation, controlled by a network of checkpoints that monitor cell cycle progression. Read more
Dysregulation of redox signalling by pH imbalance in age-related disease
An MRC-funded PhD Studentship is available under the supervision of Dr Helena Cochemé (Redox Metabolism Group) at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS). Read more
Non-genetic mechanisms of resistance to cell cycle inhibitors in cancer
Targeting cell cycle regulation is proving increasingly effective in cancer treatment. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of brain plasticity, degeneration and regeneration
The aim of the project is to discover and test candidate molecular mechanisms underlying structural brain plasticity, degeneration and regeneration. Read more
Decoding HIV-1: Genetic Influences on Virus Replication and Transmission
The project. Background. HIV-1 remains a significant global health challenge, with approximately 38 million people infected worldwide. Read more
(MRC DTP CASE) Lipid Nanoparticles with Multivalent and Multi-Targeting Capabilities for the Treatment of Brain Cancer
Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumour with a dismal prognosis, presents a significant challenge due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy. Read more
(MRC DTP) Determining the role of the inositol phosphatase INPP5B in adaptive immunity
The adaptive immune system is fundamentally important, protecting us from a multitude of pathogens. Read more
(MRC DTP) Nanobioelectronics to Overcome Hypoxia: On-Demand Generation and Enhanced Diffusion of Oxygen for Glioblastoma
Blood transfusions, bone marrow stem cell transplants, and immunotherapies are essential in treating cancer and various other diseases. Read more
(MRC DTP) Investigating The Role of the Glycocalyx in Immune Cell Recruitment to the Ovarian Cancer Metastatic Tumour Microenvironment
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most prevalent and fatal form of ovarian cancer, known for its tendency to metastasize to the omentum within the peritoneal cavity. Read more
(MRC DTP) Exploring steroid chronotherapy in allergic airways disease
Asthma is a common, inflammatory disease of the airways. The cornerstone of treatment for asthma is long term inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) with systemic corticosteroids for exacerbations. Read more
(MRC DTP) Exploring the gut skin axis in cutaneous Crohn’s disease
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a type of autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease characterised by severe inflammation in response to resident gut bacteria. Read more
