I am a cell biologist determining how the organization of the plasma membrane influences signal transduction processes; my long-term goal is to understand the spatial–temporal organization of cell signalling.
Prof Parton is a cell biologist studying how the plasma membrane functions in health and in disease. These studies have provided new insights into potential vehicles that can be used to introduce therapeutic agents into cells.
I am a cell biologist who studies the molecular mechanisms that couple cells together into tissues in the body. These adhesion mechanisms are essential during development, support normal tissue turnover and are disrupted in human disease. My research aims to understand how cell adhesion functions normally and how it is disturbed in inflammation and cancer.
Through this Australia Fellowship Prof Jackson aims to identify an entirely new approach to the treatment of heart attacks and stroke; namely the development of innovative blood clotting therapies that prevent the disease-causing effects of disturbed blood flow. This research program brings together a number of world class researchers at Monash University, the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and RMIT University in Melbourne, with scientists at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego to tackl ....Through this Australia Fellowship Prof Jackson aims to identify an entirely new approach to the treatment of heart attacks and stroke; namely the development of innovative blood clotting therapies that prevent the disease-causing effects of disturbed blood flow. This research program brings together a number of world class researchers at Monash University, the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and RMIT University in Melbourne, with scientists at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego to tackle this important medical problem. This unique research program aims to place Australia at the forefront of discovery and development of innovative new therapies for the treatment of heart disease and strokeRead moreRead less
