Understanding transcription factor complexes controlling endothelial cell quiescence and escape from quiescence

University of Nottingham Division of Cancer and Stem Cells
Endothelial cell proliferation and lymphatic cell proliferation is initiated during angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis respectively and are both regulated by the VEGF signalling pathway. With some exceptions, endothelial and lymphatic cells in healthy individuals are quiescent and do not proliferate.

Investigating the communication between cancer cells and cells in the tumour microenvironment to improve our understanding of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms and identify new targets for cancer therapy

University of Nottingham School of Medicine
It is well-established that the molecular mechanisms controlling gene expression are disrupted in cancer cells and work in this area has laid the foundations for targeted cancer therapies. We are interested in the regulatory pathways that control cell proliferation and cell migration and the events that disrupt this control in multiple types of cancer.

The use of Drosophila melanogaster to identify novel therapeutic agents for Alzheimer’s disease

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences
Since 2003, our understanding of the causes of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have improved considerably, however, in that time only one new drug treatment has been approved. Read more

How to build and maintain a 3-dimensional polarised epithelial sheet

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences
We are interested in how cells maintain normal cell shape within an epithelium. Correct epithelial cell shape is essential to maintain tissue integrity and when deregulated can cause diseases such as malignant cancers, diabetes, inflammation, and aging. Read more

The role of microtubule regulators in the progression of cancer: investigating the link between BRCA2 and depolymerising kinesins.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences
The mitotic kinesin KIF2C/MCAK regulates microtubule length in the mitotic spindle and plays a role in preventing chromosome-microtubule attachment errors. Read more

Exosome biogenesis and organelle trafficking in neurodegeneration.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences
Scientific summary. Intracellular transport pathways are fundamental for cell structure and function. Due to their longevity, complex morphology (long axonal and dendritic extensions) and requirement to maintain synaptic transmission, neurons are heavily dependent upon intracellular transport.
