I am a scientist with a background in molecular and cellular pathology. My research relates to studies of animals models of diabetic kidney and heart disease focusing on the discovery of novel treatments.
I am a clinical scientist investigating the mechanisms linking renal impairment and cardiovascular disease with a particular focus on the role of the sympathetic nervous system.
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.
