(Bicentenary) In situ structural cell biology of basement membrane rich tissues
The extracellular matrix is essential for multicellular life. As a third of our body mass, it surrounds cells, defines tissue architecture, and provides instructive signals for diverse cellular processes. Read more
P2 - Analyzing Structural Variation and Genome Function with Long-Read Multiomics
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain, and BGI, China, are recruiting students to join the CRG-BGI Joint… Read more

(VIDA DTC) Exploring the role of the astrocyte-leptomeningeal vessel interface in dementia
Research Group:
Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
VIDA (Vascular and Immune contributors to DementiA) is a new multi-institutional partnership between Alzheimer’s Society and four world-leading research sites. Read more
(VIDA DTC) Investigating Mechanosensitive Ion Channels’ Role in Dementia: Functional and Therapeutic Insights Using Computational and Structural Biology
Mechanosensitive ion channels play a pivotal role in various biological processes, including cellular signalling, tissue homeostasis, and responses to mechanical stimuli(1,4). Read more
How do helicases prevent replication and transcription machinery collisions?
DNA duplication is essential for life but replication forks can be blocked when they collide with obstacles such as proteins bound to DNA. Read more
Characterisation of the HSF1 regulatory complex
Protein homeostasis is key to cell function and survival and mismanagement leads to the accumulation of aberrant protein aggregates which subsequently disrupt cellular functions and lead to cell death. Read more
Understanding the role of tex14 in the germline intercellular bridges and fertility using an integrative structural approach
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Germ cells remain connected through intercellular bridges at the end of cell division, rather than completing abscission. Read more
Accelerating protein library screening via innovative sensor arrays
How do you find a needle in a haystack? Proteins are frequently used in biotechnology. Properties of interest (e.g. binding, enzymatic activity, stability, etc) can be enhanced in the lab through screening approaches. Read more
Structural characterization of vesicle tethering at the Golgi
All eukaryotic cells use membrane vesicles to transfer material between intracellular compartments. Read more
Host glycan metabolism underpins cross-phylum food webs in the human gut microbiota
The human gut microbiota (HGM) is a vast, symbiotic, microbial community inhabiting the distal colon that has evolved with man over millennia. Read more
Single-molecule investigation of how flap-endonucleases recognise and cleave DNA structures to allow DNA replication (S3.5-SMP-Sayers)
Replication of DNA is one of the most fundamental processes of life, and the molecular machinery required in this process are some of the most evolutionarily ancient and universally conserved. Read more
