Investigated mutagenesis of amino acids residues in the transmembrane region of the ligand binding and signal transducing subunits of the high affinity receptor complex for IgE, which may further our understanding of the early stages in downstream signalling and provide information for the design of small molecular inhibitors specific for this process which have applications in the treatment of IgE-mediated allergies… Show more Undergraduate research summer studentship supervised by Dr Brigit Helm.

Project involved the application of combination of molecular biological techniques (site directed mutagenesis, gene sequencing, gene transfection), cell biology (e.g. FACS, flow cytometry), analysis of downstream signalling pathways (receptor phosphorylation, immunoprecipitation and Calcium mobilization studies), ELISA, handling mammalian cell lines along with analytical techniques such as SDS – PAGE, PCR, western and southern blot analysis.
