Role of BTG1 and BTG2 in acute lymphocytic leukaemia and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

University of Nottingham School of Pharmacy

Acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is often associated with small deletions of or point mutations in the highly related BTG1 or BTG2 genes. Read more

The role of microtubule regulators in the progression of cancer: investigating the link between BRCA2 and depolymerising kinesins.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

The mitotic kinesin KIF2C/MCAK regulates microtubule length in the mitotic spindle and plays a role in preventing chromosome-microtubule attachment errors. Read more

Adaptation to environmental change in animals: ecology, evolution and genomics.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

How are animals able to live in different environments, with different temperatures, energetic demands, diet, predators, parasites or pH? Thanks to advances in gene sequencing technology, we are in a remarkable period of discovery about the genomic basis of adaptation and how this depends on the intricacies of ecology and environment.

Identification and characterisation of bacteriocins from environmental samples active against strains of Clostridium difficile.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Clostridiodes difficile is a cause of neonatal enteritis in livestock such as pigs, cattle and horses. Affected animals develop respiratory problems, abdominal distention and bloody diarrhoea leading to weight loss and in extreme cases mortality. Read more
