Identifying Mechanisms of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Resistance in Breast/Cervical Cancer (with emphasis on FGFR)

Kingston University Faculty of Health, Science, Social Care and Education

FGF signalling is implicated in cancer (e.g., breast and cervical cancer) susceptibility and progression, suggesting that this powerful developmental pathway is co-opted by cancer cells. Read more

Natural products in bacterial physiology and chemical interaction

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology

Microbial natural products have diverse chemical structures and bioactivities, which range from cell-cell signalling, nutrient acquisition, antifungal and antibacterial activity to stress resistance (1). Read more

Self-funded PhD- Understanding the molecular mechanism of a bacterial genome defence system and its synergy with CRISPR-Cas

University of Bristol School of Biochemistry

Prokaryotes have evolved over billions of years alongside their viruses, the bacteriophages, or “phages”. To prevent viral infection, prokaryotes have evolved rudimentary immune mechanisms, the most widespread and well-studied of which are the Restriction-Modification and the CRISPR-Cas enzymes.

Signalling mechanism enhancing root nodule symbiosis (CHARPENTIER_J24DTP)

John Innes Centre Graduate Programme

Nitrogen (N) acquisition is fundamental for plant growth. However, N is poorly available in soils, leading to extensive and costly chemical fertiliser applications. Read more

Driving phenotypic plasticity and metastasis in small cell lung cancer

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Underlying this aggressiveness is intra-tumoural heterogeneity driven by phenotypic plasticity wherein tumour cells transition from a neuroendocrine (NE) to a non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) phenotype. Read more

Metals and host-pathogen interactions: the role of metal handling systems in the human gastrointestinal pathogen Campylobacter jejuni

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Campylobacter jejuni is a globally important food-borne pathogen causing an estimated 400-500 million cases of acute human gastroenteritis each year. Read more
