(MRC DTP CASE) Investigating the mechanisms contributing to impaired regulatory function of B cells in autoimmunity

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

The implementation of biological therapies has significantly advanced the management of autoimmune diseases (AIDs). However, the failure to achieve clinical remission in ‘non-responders’ remains a significant and unmet challenge. Read more

Delineating the IRF6 regulatory network driving periderm formation and function

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

During development, the ectoderm passes through a series of cell states to produce a self-replenishing, multi-layered epidermis. Initial stratification forms a single-cell layer of flattened periderm cells which act as a barrier to prevent pathological adhesions during embryogenesis. Read more

Eco-evolutionary optimization of synthetic phage therapy

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Background. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacterial cells, use their cellular machinery to assemble new phage virions, and then kill the cell via lysis to release the virions. Read more
