SLS SF4: Identifying pro-longevity drug targets by finding how the nervous system controls aging

University of Westminster School of Life Sciences

Our ageing society is a critical issue. Remaining healthier for longer is a priority with the burden of age-related disease. We want to identify drug targets to develop pro-longevity pharmaceuticals that preserve cognitive function later in life. Read more

Glycosylation in Microalgal Host Cells

University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering

Microalgae have generated increasing interest as microbial cell factories to produce therapeutics proteins. This is because they can grow on very cheap media and their GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status means they are a fantastic option for the production of therapeutics that can be administered orally.
