Cellular signalling in cancer and immune diseases

During my research career I focused on signal transduction and cellular function in disease.  Beginning with the effects of COX-2 inhibition in heart disease for my PhD with Prof Anwar Baydoun I then went to investigate the cellular signalling associated with atherosclerosis with Prof Giovanni Mann at Kings College London.  This was then followed by investigating immune cell signalling associated with stroke and finally I studied cancer invasion mechanisms at Queen Mary, University of London with Dr John Marshall.  I have now moved to Abcam and remain passionate about science research.
