Native Mass Spectrometry for the Structural Elucidation of Protein Machines
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Native mass spectrometry is an expanding structural biology tool that is being used to elucidate the structure of protein complexes and their functions within cells. Read more
MVLS/EPSRC - A Chemical Biology Approach to Evaluate the Reversible Oxidation of Methionine in the Regulation of Protein Function.
Research Group:
Institute of Molecular, Cell and Systems Biology
Oxidation of proteins leads to their inactivation and results in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Mammalian cells contain poorly characterised enzymes called methionine sulfoxide reductases that can reverse the oxidation of methionine and protect proteins from oxidative damage. Read more
Next Generation High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy in the Wolfson Imaging Facility
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
To better understand diseases and to develop new treatment options, we need to understand very fast biological processes occurring at single molecule level. Read more
Cell growth signalling in space: How does mTOR kinase communicate with diverse cellular compartments?
PROJECT IN BRIEF. This 4-year PhD project addresses the fundamental question of how individual cells sense and respond to environmental changes. Read more
Last chance to apply
Investigation of an uncharacterised, embryonically lethal gene in immune cell development
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. Read more
Microfluidic bioimaging for monitoring protein phase behaviour in biological systems
