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 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 an epidemiologist using large scale cohort study methods to investigate potentially modifiable factors affecting common conditions, particularly those related to ageing.
I am an immunologist determining the development and function of the dendritic cell system, including its role in autoimmunity and resistance to infection.
