Nurturing the future leaders in biomedical research
Fellow 2004-2009 Research Interests Research on how viruses interact with and manipulate the host immune system to enable their replication. Discovered the HUSH (Human Silencing Hub) complex, an epigenetic repressor complex that assembles heterochromatin and silences newly integrated retroviruses and…
Fellow 1998-2003 Research Interests Interest in inherited human disorders associated with unstable DNA, e.g. myotonic dystrophy and Huntington’s Disease. Studying molecular mechanisms that give rise to somatic and germ line genetic instability. The relation of these factors to downstream pathology.…
Fellow 2008-2013 Research Interests Molecular cell biology of cytoskeletal transport. Other Information Elected a member of the Institute 2014 Elected a member of EMBO, 2015
Fellow 1994-1998 Research Interests The cellular and developmental biology of the filamentous, antibiotic-producing bacteria Streptomyces. Fundamental aspects of bacterial transcription. The regulatory networks and cyclic nucleotide signalling events that control sporulation in Streptomyces. Other Information Appointed Group Leader, John Innes…
