KQ LABS | CRICK

Run by the Francis Crick Institute and funded by LifeArc, KQ Labs offers a customised framework, providing a five month programme of critical expertise and support to ten carefully selected companies, all solving significant healthcare challenges.The programme runs annually between October and March. Our aim is to help catalyse the building of an ecosystem in data-driven health. NUMBERS AND TYPES OF ANIMALS USED IN RESEARCH Species. Mice: Used in a wide range of research projects, often genetically altered to explore the roles of different genes and pathways, or to test potential treatments. Fish: Used to study genes, signalling pathways and other factors involved in development. Frogs: Used in developmental biology, for example to see which processes are the same in amphibians and mammals.

PAOLA SCAFFIDI

Paola Scaffidi | Crick. Epigenetic heterogeneity in cancer. Tumour sections from three breast cancer patients, showing highly diverse epigenetic patterns across patients and even within individual tumours. Green: methylated histone H3; Red: histone H1.0. Blue: DNA. CRICK AFRICAN NETWORK Africa has 90% of worldwide childhood malaria deaths. The Crick African Network has been created to address this. The network is the result of a £6.6m grant through Research Councils UK Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF). The grant commenced on the 1 October 2017, and will have a duration of 51 months until December 2021.

SHARON TOOZE

Sharon Tooze. We study a cell recycling system called autophagy to help guide future research on human disease. Autophagy is the body’s way of keeping cells in top condition. It’s a self-eating process cells use to breakdown and recycle worn-out or unhealthy cell parts. This self-eating is important in overall body development, in

KATRIN RITTINGER

Katrin Rittinger. We are deciphering how proteins within a cell communicate with each other to respond to changes in their environment, such as infection with bacteria and viruses, and finding out how faulty signalling can lead to conditions including immune deficiencies and auto-immune diseases.
