Supervision is available for the following projects: cancer cell motility and invasion: the interplay between protease and glycosidase enzymes; can inhibitors of glycosidases and glycosylation be used as potential drugs for the treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis infections; synthetic biology accessing antibodies; building artificial cartilage: mechanotransduction and ingetrin signalling; do microbes talk to our cells; chondrocyte function and arthritis: the effects of mechanical stress on chondrocyte activity and survival; pro-survival and pro-apoptotic cross-signalling mediated by B cell receptor (BCR) and RP105/CD180 toll-like receptor in normal B cells and B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) cells; adrenal rhythmicity regulates ageing by favouring a shift towards cortisol synthesis at the expense of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA); elucidating the emergent interface between systems biology and traditional East Asian medicines: a multi-sited ethnography.
