I am a stem cell biologist researching the properties and application of mesenchymal stem cells, with an aim to develop cellular based therapies for repairing mineralised tissues such as bone, cartilage, dentin, cementum and other connective-supportive ti
I am a lipid biochemist-cell biologist determining the molecular mechanisms of disorders of lipid metabolism and developing treatments for such disorders. The diseases where lipid metabolism plays a key role include cardiovascular diseases (such as coronary artery disease), metabolic disorders (such as diabetes), some infectious diseases (such as HIV) and neurological disorders (such as Alzheimer disease).
I am a biochemist determining how metabolism is controlled in response to energy supply and demand. This is important in order to understanding how diet and exercise are beneficial to health.
I am an epidemiologist using large scale cohort study methods to investigate potentially modifiable factors affecting common conditions, particularly those related to ageing.
I am a reproductive biologist whose research is focussed around understanding how the early events of conception and embryo development are controlled. Critical aspects of my research are to determine the consequences to pregnancy and adult health if the
We are studying stem cells and their utility for transplantation into several organ systems including blood, neural and liver. We are also determining the relevance of epigenetic changes in transplanted cells that may interfere with normal function and could be the basis for disease.
A physiologist describing metabolic pathways and mechanisms that regulate lipoprotein metabolism in in vitro and in vivo systems. My research uses complex tracer studies and mathematical modelling to identify and quantitate pathways of lipid metabolism in normal and diseased states prior to and following lifestyle and-or pharmacological interventions.
