Overview
We study the structures and properties of DNA, RNA and protein molecules, and how these molecules interact within cells to form complex functional networks. We are also working towards applications of our knowledge to address important real-world problems.
Features
- PhD programmes in Biochemistry and Biotechnology at University of Glasgow will carry out a cutting-edge research project in an area that aligns with the expertise of one or more of our principal investigators in the fields of biochemistry and biotechnology.
- The subject of the project may be fundamental “blue skies” science or may be targeted at an important application. Projects may also be related to basic science and integrate with our existing research themes, while other projects are more focused on translational aspects of our research.
Programme Structure
Some of our current research areas are:
- cell signalling mechanisms in mammals, plants and insects
- mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial proteins
- mechanisms of DNA sequence rearrangements
- DNA sequences in human disease
- genetic circuits and switches for synthetic biology
- plant molecular biology
