Meet PhD student Ashley Ovens
Posted 08th August 2019
Ashley is a PhD student in our Metabollic Signalling Unit and his supervisor is Dr Jon Oakhill. A major focus of their research is investigating regulation of an enzyme called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Analogous to a car’s fuel gauge, AMPK detects when energy in the cell is low and co-ordinates multiple branches of metabolism (e.g. fat burning, protein synthesis, digestion of cellular components) to redress energy imbalance.
Meet PhD student Wilson Castillo
Posted 08th August 2019
Wilson is a PhD student in our Cancer & RNA Biology Lab, and his supervisor is Associate Professor, Carl Walkley. The group is interested in understanding the regulation of RNA and how this is important in normal development and cancer. It is now appreciated that RNA is actively regulated at many levels and this is important for the function both normal cells and in cancer.
