Understanding the molecular basis of piRNA-directed DNA methylation in the mammalian germline

  Research Group: Institute for Regeneration and Repair
In mammals, transposons are silenced throughout most of life by DNA methylation. The mammalian germline is derived from somatic cells early during development. Read more

RNA In Situ-ations: Unravelling the Molecular Basis for Myotonic Dystrophy through HighResolution Cryo-Electron Tomography of Disease State RNA Condensates

We aim to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying RNA misfolding diseases, particularly focusing on myotonic dystrophy (DM). In DM, both voluntary and involuntary muscles progressively degenerate in the body, affecting normal functioning of the eye, heart, endocrine system and central nervous system. Read more

Designed Protein and Lipid Nanostructures

Advances in protein design are beginning to allow us to build novel protein nanostructures with unique functions. These nanomachines include programmable artificial cages that can be endowed with dynamic capabilities such as the ability to open and close under specific conditions of interest. Read more

Structural and Functional Studies of DNA Gyrase: A Fascinating Nanomotor

DNA gyrase is a remarkable enzyme that not only supercoils DNA but also functions as an intricate nanoscale motor with moving parts that coordinate their movements in a particular, defined sequence. Read more

Engineering Artificial Protein Cages With New Capabilities

Step into the cutting-edge world of protein design with a PhD researching Artificial Protein Cages (APCs). APCs have vast potential with applications ranging from revolutionary vaccine development to state-of-the-art drug delivery systems. Read more

Biological Nanorobotics: Pioneering DNA/RNA and Artificial Protein Nanostructures

Project Description. Make your mark in the burgeoning field of Biological Nanorobotics! In this project you will bring together DNA/RNA nanotechnology with protein design to imagine and build new hybrid structures which together will provide novel structural and functional capabilities not previously realised.
