Findlay and Kulathu labs receive Tenovus Scotland Grants
Greg Findlay, Programme Leader at the MRC-PPU and Soo-Youn Choi, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Yogesh Kulathu have been awarded research grants from Tenovus Scotland.
Greg's group has been investigating mechanisms controlling pluripotent stem cell (PSC) differentiation. This grant will enable a collaborative project between Greg's team and the Dundee human PSC facility to investigate how small molecule inhibitors of BET bromodomains can be exploited to improve PSC differentiation protocols and elaborate new strategies for cell replacement therapy.
The Kulathu lab is interested in understanding how lymphocyte biology is regulated by ubiquitylation. This grant will enable Soo-Youn to investigate ubiquitin-dependent regulation of B cell proliferation. By analyzing B-cell specific knockout mice, Soo-Youn will study the role of ubiquitin networks in regulating B cell development and lymphomagenesis.
