Computational MiniProject: Automated Docking of Chemical Ligands to Protein Receptors

The aim: To produce a high-throughput protocol to screen a library of chemical compounds against a protein, and then use this protocol to produce some putative ligands for chemical synthesis and screening.

Biological MiniProject: Functional Purinergic Signalling in Epithelial Cells of the Proximal Nephron

The aim: To establish the effect of TGFbeta on the production of purinoreceptors and connexins, and establish their effect on the evoked Calcium response in cells and the paracrine signalling between them.
