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.
I am a molecular physiologist investigating the structure and function of the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine receptor (GlyR) and GABA type- A receptor (GABAAR) chloride channels. We are interested in understanding how these receptors open and close
I am a cancer biologist investigating mechanisms that regulate the aberrant cell proliferation in cancers, particularly melanomas. I am attempting to utilise defects in normal proliferative mechanisms as targets for novel anti-cancer therapies.
I am an Opthalmologist specialising in the treatment of glaucoma and genetic eye diseases. I am trained in Molecular Genetics and researching the genetic causes of eye diseases, and how understanding the basis of disease will lead to improved outcomes.
I am a molecular-cell biologist studying the genetic regulation of intestinal homeostasis in development and disease with the aim of identifying novel molecular targets for the treatment of disease and that can be validated in relevant preclinical mouse models.
