Description

Systems-level characterization of scaffold protein signalling networks. The PEAK family of cell signalling scaffolds regulate cellular responses critical for normal development and physiology. This project will adopt a ‘holistic’ approach to characterizing their mechanism and function, integrating experimental and mathematical approaches and developing predictive computational models. It aims to generate fundamental new knowledge in cell, computational and synthetic biology with broad relevance that will foster establishment of new international linkages. This research will also identify strategies for engineering novel scaffolds that re-program cellular behaviour towards specific, applied outcomes, with potential benefit for the fields of synthetic biology, bioengineering and biotechnology.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 0601 - Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Lead: Prof Roger Daly
