Our research focuses on the molecular and cellular processes underlying diseases that have a significant impact on society, with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic agents for these conditions. Key themes of our research are: 1) cardiovascular disorders, including those affecting the cerebrovascular network such as multiple sclerosis and stroke and those affecting the heart such as cardiac arrhythmias; 2) anti-cancer therapies; 3) mechanisms underlying ageing at the organismal and cellular level; 4) nervous system tissue engineering and culture modelling; 5) appetite and reproductive physiology; and 6) interactions between immune and adipose cells.

Studies recognise the nature of Earth's climate system as being intimately associated with processes in the oceans, feedbacks with the biosphere and astronomical influences. Superimposed upon these interactions is the increasingly important role played by humans in modifying Earth's radiative balance and other components of the Earth system though, for example, nutrient enrichment and landuse change.

The chemical interactions between atoms, ions, and molecules in both the gas and solid phase span from the coldest, darkest regions of space, known as the interstellar medium, right to the surface of planets, where such processes may be key in astrobiology ?
