I am a clinical researcher determining: a) the role of altered airway structure, particularly airway smooth muscle and extracellular matrix, in asthma and COPD; and b) the prevalence of, and risk factors for, respiratory disease in general populations.
Prof Harvey is a cardiac developmental biologist working on the molecular and anatomical basis of heart development and congenital heart disease, and of pluripotency and regenerative potential in adult cardiac stem cells.
My primary research interest is in the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions. A second research interest is in the mechanical and architectural properties of human muscles and tendons.
I am a developmental biologist who identifies and characterises genes required for normal embryonic development in mouse. I translate this information into the genetic diagnosis and developmental understanding of congenital malformations in humans.
