MSc by Research: Molecular Analysis of Nuclear Bodies and RNP Trafficking Pathways in the Cell Nucleus

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Many important processes within mammalian cells are compartmentalised within specific subcellular structures. In the cell nucleus, Nuclear Bodies (NBs), such as nucleoli, provide specialised compartments that are not surrounded by membranes, but still concentrate specific proteins and RNAs. Read more

How to build and maintain a 3-dimensional polarised epithelial sheet

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

We are interested in how cells maintain normal cell shape within an epithelium. Correct epithelial cell shape is essential to maintain tissue integrity and when deregulated can cause diseases such as malignant cancers, diabetes, inflammation, and aging. Read more

Younger, happier and more productive plants: using developmental genetics to improve herb yields and quality

University of Bristol School of Biological Sciences

If you’ve ever grown coriander at home you’ll have noticed that once the plant flowers it no longer produces the leaves used for seasoning. Read more

Genetics of flowering shoot temperature responses in plants

Durham University Department of Biosciences

The shape of plants is shaped by both genetics and environment; changes in response to temperature can be the most dramatic of all. Read more

Unravelling mechanisms of cytoskeletal regulation that control neuronal health and disease

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Axons are the slender, often meter-long processes of neurons which electrically wire the brain. These delicate structures are up to a meter long and need to be maintained for decades. Read more

Prenatal and pre-conception effects on neurodevelopmental disorders.

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. There is growing concern that paternal exposures before conception have been greatly neglected. Studying how these impact on future generations’ health could open new avenues for prevention-prospective fathers are not generally advised to change their behaviour. Read more
