Defective Branched chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism links adipose tissue dysfunction and type 2 diabetes
Branched chain amino acids (BCAA; including leucine, isoleucine and valine) are essential amino acid that are metabolized in adipose tissues. Read more
Exploiting metabolic vulnerabilities induced by dietary restriction as novel therapies for infant leukaemia
TO APPLY, CLICK 'INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Infant leukaemia is an aggressive malignancy with cure rates of less than 50%. Importantly, despite large international trials, there has been no improvement in survival over the last 2 decades. Read more
Dissecting the role of Activin signalling in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer associated mortality with <7% patients surviving for 5 years following diagnosis. Read more
Fully funded PhD position in neural mechanisms of gut-brain communication
Fully funded PhD position in neural mechanisms of gut-brain communication. Dr. Yu Fu’s lab, Division of Neurometabolism in Health and Diseases. Read more
Role of the stringent response to promote biocide induced antibiotic tolerance in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms.
The selection of antibiotic tolerant bacteria is of emerging concern and is thought to contribute to treatment failure. Our preliminary data supports the hypothesis that widely used biocides can promote such tolerance in the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus by activation of the stringent response. Read more

Proteomic response to amyloid oligomers within a 3D Parkinson's disease model
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that worsens as cells within the brain region known as the substantia nigra are lost over time. Read more
RNA biology in neurons and neurodegeneration
For cells to perform their biological functions, they need to able to adopt specific shapes and form functionally distinct subcellular compartments. Read more
Structural and functional analysis of DNA double strand break repair.
Eukaryotic cells have evolved complex molecular systems in order to detect and repair double-strand breaks (DSBs) of the DNA helix, which can arise from exposure to genotoxic agents or during normal nucleic acid metabolism. Read more
