Join our research community: Associate Professorship in Integrated Host-Pathogen Biology

13 December 2023

Join our research community as a full-time Assistant/Associate Professor researching host-pathogen biology to identify the important universal and fundamental principles underpinning cellular responses to infection. We envisage this role to take an approach that centres on the interconnectedness of human, animal, and...

Unlocking the Secrets of Pathogenic Bacteria: New Findings Illuminate Translational Control in Salmonella and Listeria

13 December 2023

Our recent study delving into bacterial pathogens, particularly non-typhoidal Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes, has uncovered striking differences in their translational regulation mechanisms. These pathogens, responsible for millions of infections and over 230,000 annual fatalities, deploy common strategies to adhere...

Study finds the gut microbiota in chickens influences viral immunity

1 December 2023

The gut microbiota of poultry and its effects on immunity and metabolism need to be better understood An interesting new study using conventional and germ-free chickens to explores the influence of the gut microbiota on transcriptomic and metabolic signatures along the gut-lung axis in poultry. The results demonstrate a...

MRC equipment grant helps purchase first imaging-enabled full spectral cell sorter

15 November 2023

An awarded MRC equipment grant together with funds from the School of Biological Sciences has purchased our first imaging-enabled full spectral cell sorter. The BD FACSDiscover S8 enables cells not only to be sorted based on the proteins they express and their emitted fluorescence but also based on where in the cell those...

Using DNA sequencing and nature's own colours to create sustainable dyes

25 October 2023

Colorifix uses DNA sequencing and nature’s own colours to create sustainable dyes that reduce the fashion industry’s use of water and harmful chemicals. UK-based Colorifix—an enterprise founded by members of the Department of Pathology—has an innovative solution derived from nature. Inspired by their study of water...

Tetherin antagonism by SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a and spike protein enhances virus release

13 October 2023

A new study demonstrates that SARS-CoV-2 undergoes viral restriction by tetherin Since it was identified in 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has displayed voracious transmissibility which has resulted in the rapid spread of the virus and a global pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 is a member of the Coronaviridae family whose members are encapsulated...

New study on testicular germ cell tumour cells

29 August 2023

Study finds testicular germ cell tumour cells release microRNA-containing extracellular vesicles that induce phenotypic and genotypic changes in cells of the tumour microenvironment Testicular germ cell tumours (TCGTs) are characterised by overexpression of certain microRNAs, short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene...
