Viruses and Protein Production

I completed my PhD in Molecular Virology under the supervision of Dr (now Professor) Ian Brierley in the Division of Virology (Department of Pathology), University of Cambridge. My thesis title was: Biochemical, structural and biological characterisation of pseudoknot- dependent viral recoding signals.

I worked on two projects during this time.

(1) Structural analysis of ribosomal complexes stalled at RNA pseudoknots

(2) Modulation of stop codon readthrough efficiency and its effect on the replication of murine leukemia virus (MuLV)
