Investigating how mitochondrial dynamics control mtDNA homeostasis and engineering tools to visualise mtDNA molecules

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles forming a specific network by membrane remodeling events according to cellular needs1. Mitochondria contain multiple copies of their own genome, mtDNA, a circular molecule that encodes essential proteins involved in cellular energy production. Read more

Combining CRISPR-screens and AI to Identify Novel Therapeutic Strategies to Target Cancer-Stroma Interactions

A fully funded PhD Studentship is available to work with Dr Angus Cameron, Reader in Cell Signalling and Tumour Cell Biology, Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University London, Dr Otto Morris, Senior Biological Data Scientist at Exscientia, and Professor Pedro Cutillas, Professor of Cell Signalling and Proteomics, QMUL, Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University London.

Self-funded PhD- Re-engineering Golgi dynamics in plants – investigating the role of myosin receptors

The growing global population requires the development of novel strategies to sustainably increase food production. Organelle movement is dynamic and linked to changes in cell size, plant biomass and in response to factors which affect food production such as pathogens (Perico and Sparkes, New Phytol. Read more

Nuclear and transcriptional dysregulations during cellular senescence

Cellular senescence, which is characterised by a proliferation arrest, is a driver of ageing (1). Several stresses can induce cellular senescence, including persistent DNA damage, telomere dysfunction, and oncogene activation. Read more

Investigating the role of SUMOylation in meiotic recombination and chromosome segregation in Arabidopsis

  Research Group: Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP)
Post-translational modifications of proteins such as phosphorylation, methylation and acetylation have been extensively studied in eukaryotes and now the Small Ubiquitin modifier (SUMO) is gaining attention for its importance in fundamental biological roles. Read more

Exploring the role of tryptophan metabolism in schizophrenia pathogenesis

L-kynurenine (KYN) and kynurenic acid (KYNA) are metabolites of the kynurenine pathway (KP) of tryptophan degradation and have been found to be increased in the brains of patients with schizophrenia. Read more

Structural-guided PROTAC targeting of BMX to modulate apoptotic sensitivity in disease

What determines at the molecular level whether a cell lives or dies? Regulation of the cellular life–death switch is essential in healthy cells for normal foetal development and for the clearance of damaged cells. Read more
