Research
My PhD was part of an EU/Japanese project to sequence the genome of Bacillus subtilis followed by a post-doctoral position at Newcastle University working on functional analysis of the B. subtilis genome.
This was then followed by a post-doctoral position working in the area of inflammation conducting research on chemokine/glycosaminoglycan interactions, before taking up a lectureship at the University of Sunderland in 2002.
The main focus of my research centres around increasing the available donor pool for organ transplantation by improving the outcome of organs from donors which previously have been declined for use. This work is in collaboration with Prof. David Talbot, consultant transplant surgeon, at the Freeman Hospital.
My other areas of research include proteomic analysis of the orphan disease cystinosis. I currently have PhD students working on projects investigating mechanisms that regulate cell proliferation and protein drug interactions.
