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 a molecular and cellular biologist determining the molecular mechanisms responsible for the neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Prion disease.
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 protein crystallographer determining the structures of medically important proteins such as proteases. I am also a bioinformatician leading the development of informatics systems for automated highthroughput crystallography, and bioinformatic analy
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
