Identification of novel modifiers of synaptic function, neurodegeneration and longevity in a Drosophila FTD/ALS model
The proposed project will employ a unique and powerful combination of a functional genetic screen and anatomical and behavioural analyses in the fruit-fly Drosophila to: a) Discove...
MR of the brain in fetuses with congenital heart disease
Improved diagnosis and treatment of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) has led to increased long-term survival but, unfortunately, this is associated with an increased ri...
Seeing into the future: Proactive adjustments of visual coding by the circadian clock
Circadian clocks are a ubiquitous feature of biology, driving daily rhythms in almost all biological processes. The brain is among the body-systems in which circadian rhythms are m...
The dynamics of cell entry and genome replication in a model complex virus
Bluetongue virus (BTV), a complex non-enveloped virus with a genome of ten double-stranded RNA segments, is an important pathogen and model for many similar large non-enveloped vir...
Preconception to pOst-partum study of cardiometabolic health in Primigravid PregnancY: POPPY

CTP switches in bacterial chromosome segregation and physiology: structures, functions, and mechanisms
ATP and GTP switches are extensively used to control conformations and functions of proteins in a wide range of biological processes. However, CTP switches have rarely been found i...
Targeting membrane proteins in their native environments - Mass spectrometry meets cell biology
The overarching goal of my research is to understand the relationship between membrane proteins and their lipid surroundings.This is important since many membrane proteins are unab...
Defining the scope and components of ubiquitin-dependent chloroplast-associated protein degradation
The human population is growing rapidly and set to exceed 9bn by 2050. This presents significant challenges to food security, and places ever increasing pressure on natural resourc...
