Understanding control of genome folding by cohesin

Our basic goal is to understand how chromatin structure influences gene regulation. Chromatin is generally repressive in nature but its structure is manipulated by cells in a regulated way to determine which genes are potentially transcriptionally active and which genes remain repressed in a given cell type.

Structural insights into genome control by cohesin

Our basic goal is to understand how chromatin structure influences gene regulation. Chromatin is generally repressive in nature but its structure is manipulated by cells in a regulated way to determine which genes are potentially transcriptionally active and which genes remain repressed in a given cell type.

Chromatin remodelling complexes in human brain development

Chromatin regulators are a group of proteins that control the way the rest of the genome is opened up and “read” by the cellular machinery, with fundamental roles in development and disease. Read more

Biological pathways supporting the formation and function of chromatin (Scholarship)

Every cell in our body contains the same DNA yet each cell expresses a different set of genes. These changes in gene expression are heavily influenced by histone proteins, their role in packaging DNA into chromatin and the “epigenetic” information they carry. Read more

MSc by Research: Investigating the tumor suppressor functions of chromatin remodelling

One of the unanticipated outcomes of population based genome sequencing has been the finding that genes involved in the regulation of many genes are mutated at high frequency in tissue specific cancers. Read more

Understanding gene regulation by HDAC1 complexes in development and cancer

Packaging DNA into nucleosomes helps protect the long fragile genomes of eukaryotic species. However, in doing so it becomes an ever-present physical barrier to the machinery required for its replication, repair and transcription. Read more

Mechanisms of control of 3D genome organisation

We have an exciting opportunity for exceptional PhD students to join us in a world-class research environment. We can offer a funded 3.5-year PhD scholarship open to UK and Overseas applicants. Read more

Unlocking the genetic potential of barley by modulating recombination

Barley is a major worldwide crop used for malting and animal feed. However, breeding new varieties is constrained by the frequency of genetic crossovers (1-3 crossovers per chromosome pair) and their distribution (biased towards the chromosome ends) that underpin crop improvement1,2. Read more

(MRC DTP CASE) Multiomic evaluation of differential drug response in metastatic breast cancers

Breast cancers are the most common cancers in women. Estrogen Receptor (ER) plays a major role in breast cancer growth. To stop the cancer from growing further, clinically successful ER-targeting therapies like Fulvestrant, etc were developed. Read more
