Malaria in pregnancy

Series
Translational Medicine
Embed
In pregnant women, severe malaria is responsible for high maternal mortality, and uncomplicated malaria results in in high morbidity.
Professor Rose McGready works on the treatment and epidemiology of uncomplicated malaria in pregnancy. Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable as pregnancy reduces the immunity to malaria, increasing the susceptibility to malaria infection and the risk of illness, severe anaemia and death. For the unborn child, maternal malaria increases the risk of spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, premature delivery and low birth weight - a leading cause of child mortality.

Cleaning up misfolded proteins

Series
Translational Medicine
Embed
Misfolded proteins can either create the loss of a cellular function, or escape degradation, causing aggregation diseases.
Dr John Christianson's research focusses on ER-associated degradation, which is responsible for clearing non-functional and orphan translation products. These processes play a central role in inherited diseases such a cystic fibrosis and various forms of cancer. Dr Christianson's long term goal is to identify novel points of interventions for cancer therapies.
