Our research interests within Biology include the following areas:
- Cell-cell adhesion signalling
- Effects of metabolic pathways on vascular cells
- Molecular mechanisms underlying haemostasis and thrombosis
- Gene regulation in endothelial cells and macrophages
- Molecular and cell biology of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis
- Role of the immune system in vascular homeostasis and disease
- Leukocyte interactions with the vessel wall
- Biology of atherosclerosis and plaque rupture
- Use of zebrafish to study blood vessels in inflammation and cancer
- Preclinical imaging, including intra-vital microscopy
- Development of vascular targeting of macromolecular therapeutics
- Vascular tissue regeneration.
