Early life environment changes how organisms age.

This project will help understand why organisms age differently by establishing the effect of early life environments on epigenetic ageing in the model insect, Nasonia vitripennis. Read more

Genomics of malignant pleural mesothelioma

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare, incurable cancer that carries a dismal prognosis. Its incidence is increasing globally despite its primary cause, asbestos exposure, having been known for over 50 years. Read more

Exploiting raptor genome sequences to combat wildlife crime

Birds of prey have suffered persecution for centuries through trapping, shooting, poisoning and theft from the wild to meet the demand from egg collectors and falconers; they were also amongst the earliest beneficiaries of DNA testing in wildlife forensics. Read more

Molecular dissection of horizontal gene transfer mechanisms in mycobacteria

A fully funded PhD position is available within the lab of Dr Abhinav KV at Leicester Institute of Structural and Chemical Biology (LISCB), University of Leicester, UK to carry out structural studies on large macromolecular machines that undertake horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in mycobacteria.

Mechanisms of control of 3D genome organisation

We have an exciting opportunity for exceptional PhD students to join us in a world-class research environment. We can offer a funded 3.5-year PhD scholarship open to UK and Overseas applicants. Read more

Understanding the role of mucin genetic variation in lung disease

  Research Group: Human & Medical Genetics
Understanding how genetic variation contributes to lung diseases is important in understanding how the disease develops and identifying potential molecular targets for therapy. Read more

Structural and functional characterisation of MALT1 ubiquitination to aid in the development of novel anti-cancer therapies

Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) is a family of transcription factors that play a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes; primarily related to immune responses, inflammation, and cell survival. Read more

Structural insights into genome control by cohesin

Our basic goal is to understand how chromatin structure influences gene regulation. Chromatin is generally repressive in nature but its structure is manipulated by cells in a regulated way to determine which genes are potentially transcriptionally active and which genes remain repressed in a given cell type.

Novel Molecules for Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

At present there are no effective drugs for pancreatic cancer treatment. Several molecules have been shown to be a promising anti-austerity agents, able to suppress pancreatic cancer cell lines to tolerate conditions of nutrient deprivation. Read more
