Peter V. Cornish

Research in our laboratory is primarily focused on understanding the complexities of ribosome function using a variety of biophysical methods including NMR and single molecule techniques. One of our projects is in understanding translational regulation in particular the mechanism of recoding where the ribosome shifts reading frame due to the presence of specific structures within the mRNA. Recoding has been observed in all forms of life and has been shown to be essential for the viability of many viruses including HIV-1 and SARS coronavirus. We are also contributing to the ongoing effort of developing antiviral small molecules that specifically target…

Azlin Mustapha

Azlin Mustapha’s research focusses on development of molecular, biological and analytical methods for food pathogen detection, and studying novel materials as antimicrobial agents. Specific examples include rapid PCR-based detection methods, applications of nanomaterials as antimicrobial agents and detection tools, and green syntheses of nanoparticles. In addition, her research also investigates the toxicity of nanomaterials and their application in food packaging and food contact surfaces.
