Profile summary
Associate Professor in Biomedical Science, Faculty of Health, University of Plymouth
My current research interests focus on three main areas:
- investigating stromal-derived matrix and matricellular proteins as therapeutic targets in pancreatic cancer.
- working with a multi-disciplinary team to develop novel technology for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
- using matrix proteins to improve stem cell differentiation and beta cell regeneration for the treatment of diabetes.
