  • Gene Expression Studies: from Case-Control to Multiple-Population-Based Studies
    From the Institute of Human Genetics, Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen,¨ Deutsches Forschungszentrum fur¨ Gesundheit und Umwelt (GmbH) Head: Prof. Dr. Thomas Meitinger Gene expression studies: From case-control to multiple-population-based studies Thesis Submitted for a Doctoral Degree in Natural Sciences at the Faculty of Medicine, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat¨ Munchen¨ Katharina Schramm Dachau, Germany 2016 With approval of the Faculty of Medicine Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit¨atM ¨unchen Supervisor/Examiner: Prof. Dr. Thomas Illig Co-Examiners: Prof. Dr. Roland Kappler Dean: Prof. Dr. med. dent. Reinhard Hickel Date of oral examination: 22.12.2016 II Dedicated to my family. III Abstract Recent technological developments allow genome-wide scans of gene expression levels. The reduction of costs and increasing parallelization of processing enable the quantification of 47,000 transcripts in up to twelve samples on a single microarray. Thereby the data collec- tion of large population-based studies was improved. During my PhD, I first developed a workflow for the statistical analyses of case-control stu- dies of up to 50 samples. With large population-based data sets generated I established a pipeline for quality control, data preprocessing and correction for confounders, which re- sulted in substantially improved data. In total, I processed more than 3,000 genome-wide expression profiles using the generated pipeline. With 993 whole blood samples from the population-based KORA (Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg) study we established one of the largest population-based resource. Using this data set we contributed to a number of transcriptome-wide association studies within national (MetaXpress) and international (CHARGE) consortia.

  • Catalysishub NEWSLETTER
    CatalysisHub NEWSLETTER The UK Catalysis Hub has created a thriving and successful network of catalytic scientists who are developing and promoting catalytic science in the UK. The Hub has succeeded in coordinating the community and is contributing to the development of new approaches and techniques in the field. It has provided substantial added value and is now recognised widely both in the UK and internationally. It will provide an excellent base for the future development of this crucial area of science in the UK. “The Hub has demonstrated resilience in the current pandemic with the community coming together to support each other through webinars and training courses and we will continue these in more normal times. Our proposal round was very successful with a large number of high quality proposals submitted and we have funded an excellent portfolio of research. The next few months will hopefully see an easing of the lockdown and an increase in our ability to do research. We hope that all are keeping well and safe and we look forward to meeting in person when we can and discussing catalytic research face to face.” ~ Professor Christopher Hardacre, Director Events Highlights of 2020 online via our website, so they will be a future resource for the whole catalysis community. COVID-19 has had a major impact on scientific network and dissemination due to travel UKCC 2020, 7 - 9 January 2020 restrictions and social distancing making face to face meetings and conferences unfeasible. The UK Catalysis Hub winter conference was held virtually and we worked on a vibrant programme of webinars, scientific discussions and other online events.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the MRC Human Genetics Unit at The
    Written evidence submitted by the MRC Human Genetics Unit at the University of Edinburgh and the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit at the University of Dundee (USC0001) We write in response to the UK Parliament Scottish Affairs Committee’s Call for Evidence in relation to Universities and Scotland. Our evidence pertains to “How Scottish university research fits in with UK university research”. We write as the directors of two UKRI Medical Research Council (MRC) Units based in Scottish Universities; the MRC Human Genetics Unit at the University of Edinburgh (https://www.ed.ac.uk/mrc-human-genetics-unit) and the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit at the University of Dundee (https://www.ppu.mrc.ac.uk). As part of UKRI, the MRC invests 40% of its annual budget on an intramural portfolio of institutes, units and centres. MRC Units are long term investments that tackle important, often high risk, research questions that cannot be addressed adequately through short-term response-mode grant funding. MRC Units develop new methods and research facilities, foster interdisciplinarity, and spearhead training of the next generation of research leaders. Most MRC Units are embedded within universities (MRC University Units) and, because of the scale and sustainability of their research funding - reviewed and renewed every 5 years, they have a major impact on the research landscape of the universities that they are embedded in, including in Scotland. The scale and quality of research funded in MRC Units greatly enhances academic leadership within the host university as well as the Research Excellence Grant (REG) income that the host university receives from the Scottish Funding Council.

  • Synthetic Biology
    From Molecular Biology to Synthetic Biology, what’s new? Sandra Taylor, Senior Research Technician, BSc (Hons), Mphil, Rsci, MIScT [email protected] (0161) 306 5131 Small beginnings in Norwich, after my first degree • 1987 - First lab job veterinary tests: Bacteriology, post mortems, blood, urine, faeces tests etc. Plant Molecular Genetics 1988 to 1998 – the lab grew from 6 to 16 people and several papers were published on the way that flowering is controlled. 1998 to 2001: Biochemistry Division, School of Biological Sciences, Manchester University – I supported 6 research groups, sharing expertise. Topics from cell division (in toads) to asthma (in horses and people), and cultured human cells. Career Break from 2001 to 2007 • Starting again after 6 years was a challenge but I soon got back up to speed. Technical roles are very varied, never boring, a bit like being a Mum! 2007 to present • I spent 7 years in the Michael Smith Building (Life Sciences) – various roles (cell culture, cloning, yeast two-hybrid) • In 2014 I moved to the MIB – more Chemistry/Biochemistry focussed Nano-scale 3D printing?! Micro-titre plates with 96, 384 or even 1536 sample wells – technology is being developed to “write” strings of DNA into these tiny wells using 3D nano-printing technology. Present Challenges Supporting SYNBIOCHEM • New subject(s) and equipment to learn about • The new SYMBIOCHEM team is 10 people and 4 robots! • IT technology means writing electronic lab notebooks instead of paper ones! • The new team is multidisciplinary so lots to learn but good fun! • This is now the age of writing DNA, as opposed to just reading it Publications (please note publications I contributed prior to 2006 were under my maiden name of Doyle) Structural Basis for Specific Interaction of TGFβ Signaling Regulators SARA/Endofin with HD-PTP.

  • Scientists a Step Closer to Developing Renewable Propane 10 April 2015
    Scientists a step closer to developing renewable propane 10 April 2015 change. Efforts to find cleaner, more sustainable forms of energy as well as using biotechnology techniques to produce synthetic chemicals are currently being developed at The University of Manchester." Natural metabolic pathways for the renewable biosynthesis of propane do not exist but scientists at the University have developed an alternative microbial biosynthetic pathway to produce renewable propane. The team led by Nigel Scrutton and Dr Patrik Jones from Imperial College, modified existing fermentative butanol pathways using an engineered enzyme variant to redirect the microbial pathway to produce propane as opposed to butanol. The team was able to achieve propane biosynthesis creating a platform for next-generation microbial propane production. Researchers at The University of Manchester have Propane has very good physicochemical properties made a significant breakthrough in the which allow it to be stored and transported in a development of synthetic pathways that will enable compressed liquid form. While under ambient renewable biosynthesis of the gas propane. This conditions it is a clean-burning gas, with existing research is part of a programme of work aimed at global markets and infrastructure for storage, developing the next generation of biofuels. distribution and utilization in a wide range of applications ranging from heating to transport fuel. This study provides new insight and understanding Consequently, propane is an attractive target of the development of next-generation biofuels. In product in research aimed at developing new this latest study, published in the journal renewable alternatives to complement currently Biotechnology for Biofuels, scientists at the used petroleum-derived fuels.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.
