My PhD project

The main aim of my research was to identify previously undocumented UNR-interacting proteins and transcripts using ribonuleoprotein immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry and RNA-Seq. Another aim was to identify proteins that have their expression modulated by UNR. In order to discover such proteins, siRNA-mediated knockdown of UNR followed by mass spectrometry was undertaken.

My PhD was awarded on 10/07/2017. My thesis can be downloaded here and can be referenced using the following persistent and citable URL: http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/91504/.
