My research focuses on mechanisms of intestinal iron absorption and its regulation, with a particular emphasis on understanding human disorders where iron homeostasis is perturbed.
I am a pharmacologist-cell biologist-molecular biologist and chemist examining the metabolism of iron in normal and neoplastic cells and the development of iron chelators for the treatment of a variety of diseases e.g., ?-thalassaemia and cancer.
I am a hepatology scientist investigating the mechanisms associated with the development of hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis in chronic liver diseases affecting children (cystic fibrosis liver disease and biliary atresia) and adults (haemochromatosis).
Prof Anderson a clinical neuropsychologist with two broad areas of research: 1) understanding the impact of early childhood brain injury across multiple domains – brain, cognition, social skills, behaviour; and 2) developing and evaluating interventions (child and family-based) to reduce burden following childhood brain injury.
I am a clinical researcher determining: a) the role of altered airway structure, particularly airway smooth muscle and extracellular matrix, in asthma and COPD; and b) the prevalence of, and risk factors for, respiratory disease in general populations.
“I am a biomedical scientist undertaking basic and clinical research on the pathophysiology of growth plate injury and repair, which critically impacts on children’s bone growth and growth disorders. I aim to investigate the underlying mechanisms and deve
