Untangling how Shelterin safeguards telomere structure and stability - one molecule at a time

University of Sheffield School of Biosciences

Background. Telomeres solve two problems with linear chromosomes. the end-replication problem, DNA loss from the end of chromosomes every replication cycle; and the end-protection problem, protection of the chromosome ends to prevent chromosome fusions. Read more

Self-funded PhD- Re-engineering Golgi dynamics in plants – investigating the role of myosin receptors

University of Bristol School of Biological Sciences

The growing global population requires the development of novel strategies to sustainably increase food production. Organelle movement is dynamic and linked to changes in cell size, plant biomass and in response to factors which affect food production such as pathogens (Perico and Sparkes, New Phytol. Read more

Obtaining an integrated understanding of oncogenic RAS signalling

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

The RAS family of small GTPases act as signalling hubs regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. The physiological importance of RAS signalling is evident as about 25% of all human cancers harbour mutations in ras genes, where kras is most frequently mutated (about 18%) (COSMIC, v94). Read more

How to build and maintain a 3-dimensional polarised epithelial sheet

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

We are interested in how cells maintain normal cell shape within an epithelium. Correct epithelial cell shape is essential to maintain tissue integrity and when deregulated can cause diseases such as malignant cancers, diabetes, inflammation, and aging. Read more
