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

University of Bristol School of Biological Sciences

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

Self-funded PhD- Exploring the Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogen Entry and Colonization in Plants through Wounds

University of Bristol School of Biological Sciences

How bacterial pathogens enter and colonise plant via wounds?. Wounding of plants by hard wind, hail, heavy rain, sand storms, and frost is common in nature. Read more

Microneedle delivery systems for minimally-invasive patient diagnosis/monitoring

Queen’s University Belfast School of Pharmacy

In this project, a novel type of integrated system will be investigated that will by-pass the skin barrier. On its surface will be multiple microscopic needles that pierce the skin without causing any pain – the sensation is said to feel like a cat’s tongue or sharkskin. 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

Investigating the interaction of La related proteins with colliding ribosomes

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Translation of mRNA into proteins is a critical cellular biological process for all life. This requires ribosomes to act with an array of translation factors to decode mRNA sequences. Read more

Targeting ageing and neurodegenerative diseases using the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster

Royal Holloway, University of London School of Biological Sciences

In the last 20 years the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster emerged as a pre-eminent model system for studying changes that occur during both normal and pathological ageing (~75 per cent of the genes that cause disease in humans are also found in the fruit fly!). Read more
