Dr Oliva Jacqueline Liszeth, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center 31st May 3 p.m. Recent efforts to exploit normal oscillatory physiological behaviour have developed chronotherapy as a new approach that can set optimal and appropriate times for higher therapeutic performance. Fundamentally altering conventional therapy by modulating the circadian genetic clock associated with disease.In addition, this would […]

Join us for our latest seminar: 28th October @ 2pm The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been widely used as a model organism to study ageing, particularly since the discovery that single gene mutations can dramatically increase its lifespan. Results presented in this talk, however, suggest that C. elegans exhibit reproductive death similar to Pacific salmon,

Join Professor Paul Lickiss, academic leader in sustainability, in our latest seminar held in collaboration between LERN and UCL LEAF.

Clean Tech Using Microalgae: From Biofuels to Bioactives There is a growing interest in the exploitation of microalgal species as industrial biotech platforms for the synthesis of natural and recombinant products. These include biofuel molecules; colorants and antioxidants for food or cosmetics; bioactives for the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical sectors; and high-value recombinant proteins. Genetic enhancement

Ageing presents one of the greatest socioeconomic and biomedical challenges of the 21st century. There are numerous dietary and pharmacological treatments which can extend healthspan and delay the onset of age-associated disease.  Remarkably, the effects of these treatments are extremely well conserved across the tree of life, from mammals right down to single celled organisms such

Abstract: Bdelloid rotifers are microscopic filter-feeding invertebrates, less than half a millimetre long, that live in moss and soil throughout the world. Over 400 species have been described, and all seem to be exclusively female. Individuals lay unfertilised eggs that hatch into identical asexual daughters. The success of this lineage across millions of years is
