Funded Activity Summary

Iron is essential in the diet but it is also toxic when present in excess, so both iron deficiency and iron overload can have significant clinical consequences. I will investigate the basic mechanisms by which the body acquires iron and how iron can lead to toxicity. The goal of these studies is to provide more effective iron supplements and to improve diagnosis and treatment of iron-related diseases. Iron metabolism in pregnancy, infants and respiratory diseases will be a particular focus.
