Research interests

The lab specialises in application of fluorescence and mechanical measurements from whole cells to single molecules. We are a multidisciplinary lab drawing upon core techniques in Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Mechanobiology, Super Resolution single molecule imaging and Genomics Gene expression, the transfer of the genetic code into cellular proteins is one of the most fundamental processes in living cells. This process is orchestrated by RNA polymerases, which are highly regulated to ensure correct expression.

A breakdown in this regulation leads to development disabilities and most notably cancer formation. Furthermore, changes in expression control embryonic development and stem cell differentiation.

Over the past decade it has become established that myosin motors are present in the nucleus and function in transcription, but what role they play in the organisation and transcription of genetic information is unclear.

For the first time we combine classical biochemical and single molecule assays to provide a quantitative high-resolution description of the activity of these nuclear myosins; providing a mechanistic insight into the activity of these proteins.
