BIO
Qualification and Personal History
PhD in Molecular Endocrinology 2002 (with Distinction), University Western Australia
Postdoctoral work at University of California San Francisco) (2002-2007)
Joined Imperial College London in August 2007 as Group Leader of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) Signalling Group
Research Interests
Understanding fundamental cell biological mechanisms regulating G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signal transduction and applying these mechanisms in diverse physiological and pathophysiological systems.
Current Projects
Spatial control of gonadotrophin hormone receptor (luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone) activity
Molecular mechanisms and functional role of GPCR dimerization and oligomerization on receptor activity via super-resolution imaging
Prostaglandin and oxytocin receptor action in the pregnant human myometrium and the signalling pathways modulated in labour and pre-term labour
GPCR action in the human endometrium and reprogramming of receptor activity in recurrent pregnancy loss and endometrial cancer
Molecular regulation of metabolite sensing GPCRs in intestinal function
Targeting Kisspeptin receptor activation in women's reproductive health
This work is funded by the Wellcome Trust, BBSRC, MRC and Genesis Research Trust.
