Screening of chemical libraries using iPS models for investigating the role of prion protein in Alzheimer’s disease
Background. AD has been identified as a protein misfolding disease (proteopathy). The disease is caused by accumulation of two major amyloids. Read more
Identifying cognitive and biochemical changes underlying lifestyle risk factors for dementia
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Dementia describes a group of age-associated conditions of which cognitive decline is a major feature. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and is characterised by the onset of a gradual cognitive decline. Read more
3D OrbiSIMS for the investigation of the molecular fingerprints of cellular senescence
As we age our tissues accumulate senescent cells, which play important roles in health and disease across the lifespan. During aging and age-related conditions (i.e. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Computer simulation of metal-amyloid interaction and its role in plaque formation
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the greatest healthcare challenges facing 21st century society. AD is associated with formation of fibrils and plaques in brain tissue that impair proper functioning of neurons. Read more
Design of novel inhibitors of AIM-2 for the treatment of inflammation.
Inflammation is a contributing factor in a range of therapeutic areas including stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. A cause of Inflammation is through the activation of multi-protein complexes called inflammasomes, which facilitates the release of cytokines, including IL-1b. Read more
Peptide hydrogels as a long-acting multipurpose drug delivery platform for combined contraception and HIV prevention
HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death in women of reproductive age worldwide. HIV and unintended pregnancies are prevalent in developing nations due to the lack of effective female contraceptive choice. Read more
Microfluidic bioimaging for monitoring protein phase behaviour in biological systems
Over the past decades, protein aggregation has been recognised as one of the causes of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Read more
Understanding the interaction and functional mechanism of mitochondrial MIA pathway
Mitochondria are vitally important organelles of living cells, which generate the primary energy for all biological activities. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to life threatening diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, and various neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Read more
