Research utilises both cell culture systems and model organisms such as: bacteria; Plasmodium; plants; fungi; Dictyostelium; nematides; fish; and mice; research activities investigate protein structure and function; enzmology; cell signalling; gene regulation; cancer biology and basic cell biological processes; such as cell division; cell death; motility; and chemotaxis; current research areas include: Regulation of protein and lipid trafficking; regulation of gene expression during embryogenesis, morphogenesis and cell stress; molecular enzymology; novel laser-scanning microscopy based on Coherent Antistokes Raman Scattering; structure and function of proteinases and their control by inhibitory proteins; design of novel protein scaffolds to control self-assembling devices; control of GSK-3 mediated cell signalling and protein complexes; protein-based anti-malaria drugs; heavy metal stress, transport and detoxification; lipid metabolism; toxicogenomic studies of airborne pollutants; treatment of human respiratory distress; plant cell biology and control of development; effects of mood stabilizers on Dictyostelium and neuronal chemotaxis; fish sex determination and larva metamorphosis; WNT-signalling and breast cancer.
