Postdoc at the University of Manchester researching inflammasomes

Manchester, England
Joined November 2011
New MRC DTP PhD project is available with David Brough, Kevin Couper, Roy Ng and myself looking at the NLRP3 inflammasome in the brain and brain disease findaphd.com/phds/project/mr…. Please get in touch with Prof Brough to discuss if you are interested! @BIG_research

NEW PAPER: nature.com/articles/s41467-0… Summary: We delve into the nuclear role of pro-IL-1α, using proximity labelling to identify several proteins that may interact with pro-IL-1α in the nucleus, including HATs, and find many species that have lost IL-1α nuclear localisation

We hypothesise that HAT binding may be the primary intracellular role of pro-IL-1α, and the NLS may serve an auxiliary role – either to facilitate binding to HATs in the nucleus, or instead it may be related to IL-1α trafficking and release

Our paper is now out in @CellReports! Please give it a read, particularly those interested in #microglia, #macrophages, and #stroke. We show the MNP response to stroke is all about where you're from (ontogeny), where you're at (space), and where youre heading (substates).

My first ever research paper is out !! 👩🏼‍🔬🎉 👉👉pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3832… A natural product "brazilin" inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, a key driver of numerous inflammatory human diseases including those affecting the brain such as stroke and dementia. – at Manchester, England

Studying various cell lines, researchers probe the inflammasome #NLRP3 and show how disruptions to #endosomal trafficking can sensitize macrophages to NLRP3 activators, enhancing inflammasome activation and cytokine secretion. @FBMH_UoM scim.ag/1En

A study ties an inflammatory protein complex’s activity to “traffic jams” in cell cargo transport, research in cells reveals how a kinase helps insulin regulate cell metabolism, and more in this week’s new issue of #ScienceSignaling. scim.ag/1DM
