Vicky Cowling to relocate her laboratory to MRC-PPU


We are pleased to announce that Vicky Cowling and her research group including PhD Students (Thomas Gonatopoulos-Pournatzis, Michael Aregger, Sianadh Dunn, Anna Kelner, Laura Grasso) and postdoc (Nicola Phillips) will be moving into the MRC PPU on July 18th. Vicky's lab are currently based in the Division of Cell Signalling and Immunology within the College of Life Sciences.



Vicky's research brings an exciting new research area to our Unit that involves understanding how the mRNA methyl cap in mammals and how this is regulated by protein phosphorylation and ubiquitylation pathways. Vicky's lab is also focused in understanding how methyl cap formation and function is disregulated in diseases especially in cancers and using this information to come up with new therapeutic strategies. Vicky's lab is also an integral part of our DSTT research collaboration.
