How do RNA-binding proteins control splice site selection? A multi-disciplinary approach

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

Almost every protein-coding gene in vertebrates can and does express multiple proteins. This is achieved primarily by RNA splicing, which is an essential step in gene expression in mammals and generates incredible diversity. Read more

High-throughput biomaterials discovery

The University of Manchester Department of Chemistry

Polymer biomaterials have revolutionised a range of areas from drug delivery, to antimicrobials, to cellular cryopreservation. There are 1000’s of possible monomer combinations, molecular weights and architectures to be explored, and even small differences can dramatically change their properties. Read more

Enzyme Cascades controlled in the Electrochemical Leaf for Discovery in Antimicrobial Strategy

The University of Manchester Department of Chemistry

Antibiotic discovery is usually aimed at single entities, for example a bacterial enzyme or efflux protein. This also means that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mechanisms are considered in terms of the individual response, for example, mutations in a single target enzyme, affording resistance to the drug.

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
