The nucleus is a dynamic organelle capable of sensing multiple environmental inputs. Importantly, whilst mechanical forces can impact nuclear shape, nuclear morphology also contributes to cellular function. Thus, deformations of the nuclear envelope (NE) can be sensed either as physiological signals that will modulate tissue homeostasis or as detrimental perturbations that can lead to disease development. You will be responsible for the delivery of BBSRC-funded research aiming to investigate how signalling from NE deformations is regulated and to identify the molecular mechanisms that differentiate physiological and pathological NE deformations.
