Exploring Viral Nucleic Acid Machinery via Cryo Electron Microscopy to Advance Biomedicine

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Viruses, these tiny but potent life forms, are all around us, infecting various organisms and directly affecting human health. Although in most cases, viral infection is not life threatening, in the minority of cases it leads to long-term disorders including cancer. Read more

Understanding interactions of proteins with polymer-coated nanoparticles

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Introduction. Polymer-coated nanoparticles are promising drug delivery vehicles. Multiple functionalities can be embedded into the nanoparticle structure to enable uptake of the drug-like molecules, their targeted delivery and controlled release. Read more

Filming photosynthesis: using molecular dynamics simulations and fluorescence experiments to assess the dynamics of light harvesting proteins

University of Leeds Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences

The plant protein Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) allows efficient absorption of solar energy and is essential for photosynthesis. Read more

Discovery and functional investigation of the shared molecular mechanisms of host immunoregulation by the pathogens that cause malaria and sepsis.

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Infectious diseases cause enormous humanitarian and economic burdens worldwide. Designing interventions that prevent, cure, or control many infections is difficult because pathogens have evolved sophisticated ways of subverting host immunity. Read more

Self-funded PhD- Understanding the molecular mechanism of a bacterial genome defence system and its synergy with CRISPR-Cas

University of Bristol School of Biochemistry

Prokaryotes have evolved over billions of years alongside their viruses, the bacteriophages, or “phages”. To prevent viral infection, prokaryotes have evolved rudimentary immune mechanisms, the most widespread and well-studied of which are the Restriction-Modification and the CRISPR-Cas enzymes.

Targeting Ras palmitoylation for the treatment of cancer

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Lay summary. Proteins can be thought of as molecular machines that carry out work within cells. Protein activity can be regulated through the reversible attachment of certain chemical groups to specific amino acids within proteins. Read more

Structural investigation of oncogenic splicing factors

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

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

Probing Death Decisions from Morphogen Gradient Fields

University of Liverpool Department of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine

Morphogen gradient scaling is one of the hottest fields in developmental biology at the moment. Scaling is fundamental, explaining how the machinery that controls pattern formation in development (the morphogens) can adapt, so that organs of different sizes show morphological structures which are proportioned.

Biophysical explorations of neural crest cell behaviours in development and cancer

King’s College London School of Natural & Mathematical Sciences

Neural crest cells are highly migratory. These cells travel throughout the developing embryo, eventually contributing to most organ systems, including the peripheral nervous system, pigment cells and craniofacial skeleton. Read more

How do RNA-binding proteins control splice site selection? A multi-disciplinary approach

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

Almost every protein-coding gene in vertebrates can and does express multiple proteins. This is achieved primarily by RNA splicing, which is an essential step in gene expression in mammals and generates incredible diversity. Read more
