Eastbio: Studying the mechanisms underlying pulsed contractions during Drosophila morphogenesis using sub-cellular and tissue manipulation

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Background. To shape tissues and organs during morphogenesis, cells undergo complex behaviours, including movement and apical constriction. Read more

Eastbio: Deep Learning for time-series from genomic biodiversity projects

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Evolutionary biologists have long been interested in the question how populations adapt to changing environments. Until recently researchers were only able to sequence a few individuals at a single time-point. Read more

Eastbio: Molecular basis of viral superinfection exclusion

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Background. Viral superinfection exclusion (SIE) occurs when a virus that has successfully established infection in a host cell subsequently prevents further infection by the same, or closely related viruses. Read more

Eastbio: Mechanism and consequences of lethal zygosis in bacteria restricting AMR plasmids.

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health crisis, largely due to the carriage of AMR genes on conjugative plasmids, mobile genetic elements that spread by conjugation between bacteria. Read more

Eastbio: Soundscapes of Recovery: Acoustic Indicators of Ecological Change in Scottish Rivers

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Freshwater ecosystems are under increasing pressure from pollution, altered flow regimes (through both droughts and floods), land use change and climate driven extremes. Read more

Eastbio: FoxP2 in Flight: Transgenic Bats and the Molecular Genetics of Speech and Language

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Have you ever wondered how humans evolved the ability to speak to one another, which other animals share that ability, or how it is encoded in our genes and the brain? Our lab aims to answer these questions by studying vocal learning, the ability to modify vocalisations through experience, which underlies human speech and is found in only a handful of other species.

Eastbio: Design, synthesis, and mechanism of action of inhibitors of the human enzyme 2′-deoxynucleoside 5′-phosphate N-hydrolase 1

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
The human enzyme 2′-deoxynucleoside 5′-phosphate N-hydrolase 1 (DNPH1) catalyses the N-ribosidic bond hydrolysis of the noncanonical nucleotide 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate, producing 5-hydroxymethyluracil and 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate. Read more
