I am a cardiorespiratory neuroscientist. My work aims to discover what determines central respiratory and sympathetic activity and how this controls breathing and the circulation in health and disease
I am a neuroscientist-biochemist-cell biologist determining the mechanisms by which lipids and lipid transporters regulate neurodegeneration and vascular disease. I have recently developed a prototype drug that shows promise as a novel therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's disease.
I am a glial-vascular biologist determining the cellular and molecular mechanisms of vessel formation in the retina and choroid. These studies are undertaken during normal developmental and various experimental models of pathological neovascularisation. A
I am a developmental biologist who identifies and characterises genes required for normal embryonic development in mouse. I translate this information into the genetic diagnosis and developmental understanding of congenital malformations in humans.
My background is in the study of human molecular genetic disease, and my interest has evolved to the analysis of embryonic development using the mouse as a model system. My particular interest is in the molecular mechanisms governing limb and craniofacial
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.
I am a physiologist working to understand how disturbances during pregnancy can alter fetal development and increase the risk of developing adult onset diseases such as cardiovascular disease, renal disease and diabetes. In particular I am interested in how alterations in kidney development may play a crucial role in disease development.
