Stress sensing and cell polarity regulation
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Cell organisation is critical for cell function and depends on spatial cell-polarity cues and landmarks, both internally and externally. Read more
EastBio: Investigating the role of Cas1 nuclease in DNA repair
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
In the bacterium Escherichia coli, the Cas1 (YgbT) protein seems to link immunity, DNA repair and chromosome segregation. The protein is a component of the bacterial immunity mechanism called CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR associated proteins). Read more
EastBio: Understanding immune protein complex assembly in plant cells
Research Group:
Institute of Immunology & Infection Research
Plants are known to have gene clusters where genes with similar functions tend to cluster together. In plants, intracellular immune receptors can detect specific pathogenic proteins secreted into the host cell, and this detection is crucial to trigger immune activation and subsequent disease resistance. Read more
SparseHybrids: Sparse designs, statistical machinery and breeding tools for leveraging heterosis in plants and animals
Summary. Unique PhD project in quantitave genetics, biometrics and selective breeding with leading academic and industry experts from UK, Europe and Australia. Read more
Activating antibiotic production: High-throughput genetics identification and characterisation of novel antibiotics
Drug-resistant bacterial infections cause 1.27 million deaths annually and antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest threats to global public health. Read more
The impact of horizontal gene transfer on the evolution of eukaryotes
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is defined as the movement of genetic material across extended phylogenetic distances. Read more
Exploiting novel stem cell technologies to investigate prion strain evolution
Emerging infectious diseases that potentially threaten humans often arise at the interface between wildlife and livestock. A major challenge to research on these diseases is a relative lack of relevant experimental models for the species and tissues of interest. Read more
Cell movement and collagen production in development and regeneration of the skin
Organs generate their structures during embryonic development through the production and precise placement of specialised cells, and the ordering of their extracellular matrix. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Understanding the link between population-level processes and broad-scale biodiversity patterns
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
EASTBIO: New tools to uncover the assembly and regulation of proteasome variants
Protein homeostasis and the regulation of protein degradation by the proteasome are fundamental cellular processes that maintain health by ensuring the proper synthesis, folding, and degradation of proteins. Read more
EASTBIO: Polarity controlled epithelial contractility
It is well-established now that during development biochemical cues as well as mechanical cues are important to generate patterning and morphogenesis. Read more
EASTBIO: Tackling antibiotic tolerance in Gram-negative bacteria
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major problem that is expected to continue to grow. However, currently, many more people die of infections caused by bacteria that do not show genetic resistance to antibiotics. Read more
EASTBIO: Location,location, location: DNA damage sensors which launch protective responses to DNA damage
DNA damage happens at very high frequency in the cells in our bodies – meaning that the instructions for the proper functioning of cells could be altered unless the mistakes are spotted and corrected. Read more
EASTBIO: Beyond Face Value - epidermal specialisations in cereals
Plants living on land face a brutal environment with risks of dehydration, exposure to variable temperatures and UV, as well as pest attack. Read more
EASTBIO: How does Dysregulated Protein Kinase Signalling Cause Human Neurodevelopmental Disorders?
The overarching goal of our research is to identify and characterise protein kinase signalling pathways that are disrupted in human neurodevelopmental disorders. Read more
