Harnessing the genetics of DNA methylation to understand context-specific gene regulation in disease

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations for traits and diseases. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions (outside genes), and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through modulating regulatory mechanism. Read more

Harnessing the genetics of DNA methylation to understand context-specific gene regulation in disease

Project Background. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations with health outcomes. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through a regulatory mechanism. Read more

Regulation of protein palmitoylation in the heart by persulphidation

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is known to have cardioprotective qualities. Persulphidation is a reversible post-translational modification (PTM) in which a persulphide group is formed by the reaction of H2S with the thiol groups of cysteine residues in proteins. Read more

Regulation of virulence and biofilm formation by quorum sensing and the "stress alarmone" ppGpp in gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.

We are investigating the complex interplay between cell-cell signalling (quorum sensing), microbial lifestyle (i.e., free-living planktonic cultures vs sessile biofilm communities), growth phase and virulence in gram-negative bacteria. Read more

Structural investigation of oncogenic splicing factors

More than 90% of human genes can and do express multiple proteins. This is achieved by a process called alternative RNA splicing, which is an essential step in gene expression in mammals. Read more

Molecular Mechanisms of Resolution of Inflammation

We are seeking talented, motivated students to join the research group led by Professor Andy Clark (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/inflammation-ageing/clark-andy.aspx), a member of the University of Birmingham’s Rheumatology Research Group (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/inflammation-ageing/research/rheumatology-research-group/index.aspx).

Novel regulatory pathways leading to Neutrophil Activation

In chronic lung diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis lung disease or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, the lung is susceptible to destruction of lung tissue by human cells that normally participate in removing bacteria from the lung. Read more
