Using microRNA inhibitors to boost GABAergic inhibition as a genetic therapy for epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterised by recurrent spontaneous seizures and cognitive co-morbidities. Current small molecule approaches to treating epilepsy are ineffective in a significant portion of cases, and are associated with substantial adverse effects. Read more

Dysfunctional antifungal potency of the respiratory mucosa in COPD

Inhalation of Aspergillus fumigatus spores cause >3,000,000 chronic and >200,000 invasive diseases annually worldwide. Invasive aspergillosis carries a 50% mortality rate overall, but mortality rate approaches 100% if diagnosis is delayed or missed and it is >75% in certain cohorts of patients, such as COPD sufferers. Read more

The role of regulatory evolution in phage ecology

The regulation of genes crucially determines the fitness and function of all organisms. This is particularly relevant for bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, as they rely on a tightly scheduled program for a successful infection. Read more

Cell-matrix interface engineering for regenerative medicine applications and disease modelling

Dr. Mahetab Amer is seeking motivated students with backgrounds in tissue engineering, cell biology, materials science, or related fields to join her dynamic, multidisciplinary research group at the Division of Cell Matrix Biology and Regenerative Medicine, University of Manchester. Read more

Optimizing phage-antibiotic-synergies to kill bacterial pathogens

Phage therapy, the use of viruses that only infect bacterial cells and kill them, is a promising potential solution to the antimicrobial resistance crisis that is threatening modern medicine1. Read more

Driving phenotypic plasticity and metastasis in small cell lung cancer

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

Protein engineering enzymes for Industry

Project Overview. We are interested in key features of the protein sequence - structure - function relationship, and how this information can be translated to health. Read more

The impact of nutritional scavenging on host-pathogen interactions, antifungal efficacy and emergence of antifungal resistance

Infections caused by Aspergillus fumigatus (Af) cause more deaths globally than any other fungal disease. Over 20 million are affected annually with four million having life threatening invasive and chronic infections with high morbidity and mortality up to 90%. Read more
