Using genome engineering and bioinformatics to understand heterochromatin and centromere function in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and in cancer cells

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Centromeres are the DNA sequences on eukaryotic chromosomes that mediate accurate chromosome segregation at both mitotic and meiotic cell divisions. Read more

The role of calcium signalling in regulating of tumour cell behaviour

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Metastasis is the major cause of mortality in human cancers, yet we know relatively little of the fundamental biology that underlies the important transition to invasive malignancy. 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

The use of Drosophila melanogaster to identify novel therapeutic agents for Alzheimer’s disease

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Since 2003, our understanding of the causes of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have improved considerably, however, in that time only one new drug treatment has been approved. Read more

Epigenomic transcriptomic mechanisms underlying human neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

This project aims to use high throughput sequencing technologies and molecular approaches to understand how RNA epitranscriptomic processes contribute to susceptibility to human disorders of the brain. Read more

Providing insights into the molecular understanding of heart development and the formation of congenital heart defects.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Our research aim is to understand how the heart develops and then how it goes wrong to give rise to congenital heart defects (CHDs). Read more
