Molecular profiling of altered cell states in renal ciliopathies
Research Group:
MRC Human Genetics Unit
This project is part of Cilia-AI (European Training Programme for Deconvolution of Multi-scale Cilia Function in Health and Disease by Integrating Machine Learning-AI Approaches. Read more
Characterising host-pathogen impact of light mediated approaches for treating microbial keratitis
Research Group:
Centre for Inflammation Research
Background. Microbial keratitis (MK) is a significant cause of vision loss worldwide. Current treatment regimens rely on the application of frequent antibiotics or antifungals (up to hourly). Read more
Enhancing Photosynthesis through Non-Canonical Amino Acid Incorporation and Computational Protein Design
Research Group:
Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
This project proposes a novel approach to enhance the efficiency of photosynthesis by integrating non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) into key photosynthetic proteins. Read more
Understanding the role of intercellular bridges in cancer
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Intercellular bridges (IBs) are important to promote and sustain communication between somatic cells during cellular and environmental stress, viral infection. Read more
Role of mechanosensing in the development of haematopoietic stem cells
Research Group:
Institute for Regeneration and Repair
Background. Haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) emerge from the endothelium of the embryonic dorsal aorta through the process called endothelial-to-haematopoietic transition (EHT). Read more
Modelling stochastic emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Bacterial evolution of antibiotic resistance within patients can compromise the efficacy of antibiotic treatment and represents a serious threat to public health. Read more
Determining how a eukaryotic cell maintains its pH
Research Group:
Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Cytosolic pH regulates cellular physiology, with effects ranging from initiating cell signalling to controlling phase separation. Read more
