  • The Role of Polyadenylation in the Induction of Inflammatory Genes
    The role of polyadenylation in the induction of inflammatory genes Raj Gandhi BSc & ARCS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2016 Declaration Except where acknowledged in the text, I declare that this thesis is my own work and is based on research that was undertaken by me in the School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Science, The University of Nottingham. i Acknowledgements First and foremost, I give thanks to my primary supervisor Dr. Cornelia de Moor. She supported me at every step, always made time for me whenever I needed it, and was sympathetic during times of difficulty. I feel very, very fortunate to have been her student. I would also like to thank Dr. Catherine Jopling for her advice and Dr. Graeme Thorn for being so patient and giving me so much help in understanding the bioinformatics parts of my project. I am grateful to Dr. Anna Piccinini and Dr. Sadaf Ashraf for filling in huge gaps in my knowledge about inflammation and osteoarthritis, and to Dr. Sunir Malla for help with the TAIL-seq work. I thank Dr. Richa Singhania and Kathryn Williams for proofreading. Dr. Hannah Parker was my “big sister” in the lab from my first day, and I am very grateful for all her help and for her friendship. My project was made all the more enjoyable/bearable by the members of the Gene Regulation and RNA Biology group, especially Jialiang Lin, Kathryn Williams, Dr. Richa Singhania, Aimée Parsons, Dan Smalley, and Hibah Al-Masmoum. Barbara Rampersad was a wonderful technician. Mike Thomas, James Williamson, Will Hawley, Tom Upton, and Jamie Ware were some of the best of friends I could have hoped to make in Nottingham.

It was also documented between 1990-2013 in The Society’s old database iMIS, which will be migrated to the CRM member directory adopted in 2016. This document collates missing service history data from July 2012 to September 2018. Grey Books were relaunched as ‘Grey Records’ in 2019 beginning with the period from the September AGM 2018 up until July AGM 2019. There will now be a Grey Record published every year reflecting the previous year’s service history.
