Research
My research involves the study of pathways that control the expression of key cytokines that are involved in the inflammatory response. Understanding how these molecules are regulated provides insight into mechanisms that cause damage and disease during infection and disease states resulting in arthritis and cardiovascular dysfunction.
Intracellular pathogens such as Chlamydia trachomatis are exquisitely adapted to exist and manipulate the host cells environment for its own benefit and survival. Work funded by the MRC has enabled my laboratory to provide insight into how Chlamydia interacts with the host cells and regulates inflammatory processes.
