Control and inhibition of virus replication

University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences

The Tuplin laboratory utilises a range of cutting-edge approaches to investigate how arboviruses - specifically Chikungunya, Dengue and Zika viruses - control replication and translation of their genomes through interactions between RNA structures, host cell proteins and non-coding RNA, and the potential of such RNA elements/interactions as novel therapeutic targets.

Structure and function of enzyme complexes involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation

University of Nottingham School of Pharmacy

Many proteins in human cells function as part of high molecular weight multi-subunit assemblies. The structure and function of such large molecular machines is often difficult to characterise due to their complexity, low abundance and structural dynamics. Read more

Structural investigation of oncogenic splicing factors

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

More than 90% of human genes can and do express multiple proteins. This is achieved by a process called alternative RNA splicing, which is an essential step in gene expression in mammals. Read more

Epigenetics of early human development: From molecular mechanisms to regenerative medicine

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

The 46th chromosome in XX female mammals, the second X, has to be switched off. That way females equalize gene dosage of X-linked genes with XY males. Read more

NIHR Leeds BRC: Pre-clinical evaluation of novel regenerative medicine strategies for knee osteoarthritis

University of Leeds Faculty of Medicine and Health

Historically, articular cartilage was considered incapable of spontaneous repair. However, biomechanical correction in osteoarthritis (OA) using high tibial osteotomy or joint distraction demonstrated the remarkable joint to regeneration by “merely” correcting joint alignment. Read more

Structural insights into genome control by cohesin

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

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.

Molecular mechanism of vimentin induced epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness in cancer cells

Queen Mary University of London Institute of Dentistry

Background. Most cancers are epithelial in origin and arise from a single progenitor cell, similar to an embryo, to become a clone of cells. Read more
