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
Unravelling host pathogen interactions by pulse dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy under near native conditions
In the dogma of modern structural biology, structure determines biomolecular function with implications for dysfunction and disease. 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
Structure and inhibition of the BamAD complex, the Achilles’ heel of outer membrane biogenesis in Campylobacter
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a leading challenge to global healthcare for the coming decade. Particularly difficult to manage are Gram-negative infections, which require the development of new drugs, alongside better education, hygiene and lifestyle. 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
Effects of early life experience on the brain and the behavioural responses to playful handling in rats
Pre- and post-natal adverse early life events have been shown to affect later development and overall quality of life, but little research has been undertaken to study the effect of positive early life events. Read more
Identifying the genetic determinants in birds of resilience versus susceptibility to avian influenza
Avian influenza A viruses (AIV) have wild waterfowl as their reservoir host but infect a wide range of other avian and mammalian species. Read more
Assessing Responses In Invertebrate Populations to Pollution in Southwest Rivers (PhD -Southwest Water funded)
The University of Exeter’s Department of Biosciences is inviting applications for a PhD studentship funded by Southwest Water to commence as soon as possible. Read more
Investigating genome plasticity and its role in drug resistance in Candida albicans.
Research Group:
Institute for Regeneration and Repair
Fungal pathogens are a huge burden on human health, killing over 2 million people each year, six times more than malaria or influenza, and are deadlier than most bacterial infections. With only four classes of antifungal drugs available, and an increase in resistance seen in clinics, there is an urgent need for developing new strategies against antifungal resistance. Read more
Epigenetic mechanisms linking particulate exposure to airway health and disease in a changing vehicular pollution environment
In 2013 Ella Kiss-Debrah died of an asthma attack caused by illegally high levels of air pollution in London. Globally traffic related air pollution kills 2.4 million people. Read more
Targeting the sweet tooth to reduce population-wide sugar intake
Excess intake of dietary sugars are a major contributor to obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Read more
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to improve the muscle ‘health’ of individuals with acute kidney injury (AKI).
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of acute illness impacting >13-million individuals worldwide each year. 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: 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
