Seminar: Translating the trypanosome surface, Professor Mike Ferguson, School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee
GLT1, Medical School Building

Abstract: This talk will cover our current understanding of the African trypanosome cell surface, and in particular the biosynthesis and roles of protein N-glycosylation and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) membrane anchoring in this organism. The peculiarities of these post-translational modifications, and associated nucleotide sugar metabolic pathways, provide drug discovery opportunities for trypanosomiasis. The desire to exploit these, and several other, discoveries led groups at The University of Dundee to establish a Drug Discovery Unit that both translates parasite biology through to preclinical candidates and develops drug candidates phenotypically, performing drug target deconvolution at the end of the process. Examples of both approaches will be given. The Drug Discovery Unit capabilities established for parasitic diseases are also applied to innovative targets in several other therapeutic areas, and some of these will be briefly mentioned.
