Identification and structural analysis of transient interactions in supra-molecular complexes involved in protein synthesis
The aim of this project is to understand the dynamic interactions in the mechanism and control of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells at the molecular level using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), and particularly the role of the eukaryotic translation initiation factors eIF2, eIF5 and eIF2B[1,2].

Structural study of spliceosomes stalled by antitumor compounds
Splicing is a critical step in gene expression, responsible for removing non-coding introns from pre-mRNA transcripts. This process can occur in alternative ways, enabling the production of multiple mRNA variants from a single gene. Read more
Immunopeptidome landscape of multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) is caused by the clonal expansion of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Read more
Molecular investigation on MuvB oncogenic complexes
The cell cycle is the fundamental biological process where the cell coordinates chromosome replication and segregation with cell growth and division. Read more
Developing AI Approaches to Uncover Regulatory Protein Dynamics in DNA Replication
The project aims to develop and apply novel machine-learning, statistical and AI approaches to generate structural insight into dynamic DNA replication complexes. Read more
Investigating the role of AMPK in endothelial cell function
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important role in maintaining energy homeostasis at both the cellular and whole body level1. Read more
Structural biology: A gas channel in vitamin B6 biosynthetic enzymes
Study of gas channels in proteins. You will study gas channeling and structural dynamics in bacterial (tuberculosis), malarial, and plant enzymes involved in Vitamin B6 biosynthesis. Read more
Enzymes for Sustainable Amide Synthesis Under Aqueous Conditions for Pharmaceutical Applications
A PhD studentship is available to work on a multidisciplinary project led by Professor Andrew Carnell on the discovery and development of enzymes for application in the sustainable synthesis of amides under aqueous conditions. Read more
(MRC DTP CASE) A platform for structural proteomics screening of membrane proteins
Solute carriers (SLCs) are the second largest class of membrane-embedded proteins with over 400 members organised into 66 families. Read more
(MRC DTP CASE) Drug Binding on human G-Protein Coupled Receptors under Tension-Altered Biomechanics in Diseases
Integral membrane proteins (MPs) constitute a significant part of the genome and are targets of ~30% of therapeutics. However, structural and functional understanding of these proteins often lags behind that of their soluble counterparts. Read more
Epigenetics and Cancer: Determining how Mistakes in V(D)J Recombination Trigger Leukaemias and Lymphomas
Research Group:
School of Molecular and Cellular Biology
V(D)J recombination is essential to produce an effective adaptive immune system but since the reaction involves the breakage and rejoining of DNA, it is highly dangerous and errors have long been thought to lead to leukaemias and lymphomas. Read more
