Funded MRC PPU PhD Programme 2025, University of Dundee, Scotland
The MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit is a world-famous centre for the study of cell signaling and how disruption to signaling pathways causes human disease. Read more
Translational Studies into Molecular mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a devastating neurodegenerative condition that affects up to 10 million people worldwide and there is no cure. Read more
Discovery of novel mitochondrial and organelle mechanisms underlying Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a movement disorder that is now the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. Despite much research the disease is incurable and there are no treatments that can slow the disease down. Read more
How do bacteria adapt survive in the lungs of patients with chronic lung infections like bronchiectasis?
Haemophilus influenzae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are key pathogens in bronchiectasis and other chronic lung diseases like COPD. Chronic infections are associated with decreased quality of life and increased disease severity in patients and antibiotic treatments often fail to clear infections. Read more
Impact of the alarmin Il-33 on neutrophilic inflammation in chronic lung disease
Blockade of the epithelial alarmin IL-33 is a novel treatment strategy in development for people with asthma, COPD and other chronic lung conditions like bronchiectasis. Read more
Pharmacogenetic and proteomic characterisation of response to Dipeptidyl peptidase-1 inhibitors: precision medicine for a novel class of anti-inflammatory drugs
Dipeptidyl peptidase-1 (DPP1) inhibitors are a novel class of immunomodulatory drug which have recently shown positive results in a phase 3 clinical trial in people with the chronic inflammatory lung disease bronchiectasis and are in development for a number of other inflammatory conditions including hidradenitis suppurativa and chronic rhinosinusitis.

New technologies to monitor assembly of alternative forms of the proteasome
The Rousseau lab is interested in decoding how protein degradation by the proteasome is regulated in cells so that accumulation of unfolded, misfolded, or damaged proteins can be cleared before they become deleterious. Read more
Understanding the physiological roles and pathological impacts of ER-Autophagy
Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation pathway that is activated upon stress to facilitate clearance of damaged/toxic intracellular contents and recycle essential building blocks to sustain cell survival. Read more
Molecular mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease
There is great need for improved understanding of the mechanistic biology underlying Parkinson’s disease. Such knowledge will help with development of new drugs that slow or even halt the progression of the disease. Read more
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
How do Dysregulated Signalling Pathways cause Intellectual Disability?
The goal of our lab is to understand how signal transduction is disrupted to cause intellectual disability, which is a major healthcare challenge world-wide. Read more
Finding the eat-me signals
The Ganley lab is interested in unravelling the molecular mechanism of autophagy (which literally translates from the Greek meaning to eat oneself). Read more
Cleave to Modify: A new biological mechanism for protein regulation
Variations in protein structure at the level of amino acid sequence and modifications allow for the biological complexity observed in living organisms; a complexity that far exceeds that of the approximately 20,000 genes in the human genome that encode for proteins. Read more
Investigating the immune-epithelial interactions that drive intestinal inflammation
Intraepithelial T lymphocytes (IEL) are at the forefront of mucosal immunity - the first immune cells that pathogens and symbionts encounter in the gut. Read more
Location, location, location: DNA damage sensors which launch protective responses to DNA damage
DNA damage happens at very high frequency in the cells in our bodies – meaning that the instructions for the proper functioning of cells could be altered unless the mistakes are spotted and corrected. Read more
