| I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology from Portsmouth School of Pharmacy in 1983 and then undertook a PhD in Protein Biochemistry and Cell Biology in the Biophysics Department at Portsmouth, graduating in 1987. My first post-doc was in the Biochemistry Department at the University of Liverpool and following this, I moved to University College London, where my career in cardiovascular research began, at The Hatter Institute for Cardiovascular Studies and the Medical Molecular Biology Unit with Derek Yellon and David Latchman studying the role of stress proteins in myocardial protection. In 1996 I moved to the Cardiology Department at St Thomas' Hospital (King's College London School of Medicine) as a lecturer with Mike Marber. Currently my interests lie in studying the role of inflammatory signalling pathways and stress-transcription coupling in gene regulation in cardioprotection and myocardial remodelling. |
