The fundamental requirements and components of translation factories for the co-ordinated production of key proteins and pathways in yeast
Understanding the mechanisms surrounding the coordinated production of protein in biotechnological organisms such as baker’s yeast (S. Read more
Identifying and validating novel drug targets related to metabolism in pathogenic fungi
Pathogenic fungi are responsible for illness and death across the globe. Diseases are caused by known, remerging and new fungal pathogens, highlighting the need for advancing therapeutics. Read more
Identification of phosphatases that inactivate the endoplasmic reticulum stress sensor Ire1
A self-funded PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr. Martin Schröder in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University to study stress signalling mechanisms originating from the endoplasmic reticulum. Read more

How are chromosomes segregated correctly during sexual gene reassortment? — understanding how the meiotic chromosome axis functions in gametogenesis
The Institute of Medical Sciences. Read more
Investigating novel Arabidopsis recombination mutants
Meiosis is a specialised cell division during sexual reproduction that is essential for fertility. It reduces chromosome numbers by half, so that haploid gametes are restored to normal ploidy levels upon fertilisation. Read more
Investigating the lipid regulation of GPCR signalling
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest group of membrane receptors and major drug targets. Read more
Surviving Perturbations: Quantitatively Understanding Microbial Community Robustness
The Project. Multispecies microbial communities can outperform single species in, for example, producing pharmaceuticals or fighting infections. Read more
Cell membrane engineering for biotechnology
The global economy has an unsustainable dependence on fossil raw material and concerns about environmental sustainability are becoming more acute. … Read more
Use of Fermentation to solve current Food Science, Food Formulation and Sustainability challenges
The use of fermentation by humans dates from ancient times -8000BC- in the search for shelter and food. Fermentation is used nowadays in various areas. Read more
MScR: Interplay of chromatin remodelling and maintenance of genome stability
Genome instability is a known driver of tumourigenesis and hallmark of cancer. Efficient eukaryotic DNA repair requires changes to chromatin to allow signalling and access of repair proteins to sites of damage. Read more
Role of the ribosomal exit tunnel in translation regulation
Ribosomes are the cellular machines that synthesise all proteins within cells. Cells regulate gene expression at multiple levels beyond transcription and control of translation is a key regulatory step both at a global level and for individual mRNAs. Read more
Production and characterization of novel vaccine candidates
Vaccines are the most successful public health initiative of the 20th century. They save lives, extend life expectancy and add billions to the global economy. Read more
Regulatory roles for ribosome-associated proteins in protein synthesis
Protein synthesis is a highly-conserved, dynamic and tightly controlled process that is central to the activity of all cells. All phases of translation can be controlled. Read more

Composition and structure of the COPII coat in immunoglobulin secretion from the plasma cell
B lymphocytes are the blood cells responsible for immunoglobulin (Ig, or antibody) production and secretion, a fundamental process for the humoral immune response to infections and vaccines. Read more
