Structural and functional analysis of the protein complexes which regulate cell fate decisions to identify novel cancer therapies

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

Whether a cell dies or not has profound consequences on health and disease. In healthy tissue, cells that acquire high levels of genetic damage are safely removed via a process of programmed cell death. 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

Obtaining an integrated understanding of oncogenic RAS signalling

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

The RAS family of small GTPases act as signalling hubs regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. The physiological importance of RAS signalling is evident as about 25% of all human cancers harbour mutations in ras genes, where kras is most frequently mutated (about 18%) (COSMIC, v94). Read more
