“I am a biomedical scientist undertaking basic and clinical research on the pathophysiology of growth plate injury and repair, which critically impacts on children’s bone growth and growth disorders. I aim to investigate the underlying mechanisms and deve
I am a molecular biologist investigating the role of SRY-SOX transcription factors in the formation and function of the gonad, and to a lesser extent, of bone, the brain and the pancreas. I also identify and functionally characterise other factors causing
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.
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 geneticist determining the molecular mechanisms that underlie gonad (testis and ovary) development and dysgenesis in patients with disorders of sexual development.
My background is in the study of human molecular genetic disease, and my interest has evolved to the analysis of embryonic development using the mouse as a model system. My particular interest is in the molecular mechanisms governing limb and craniofacial
