Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD (as Co-Supervisor) - email supervisor to discuss availability.
I completed my PhD in 2022 with my novel research looking at crypt fission and its relationship with Wnt-beta-catenin signalling pathway under the supervision of A/Professor Adrian Cummins (Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, TQEH), Professor Gordon Howarth. The techniques I have developed during my PhD are microdissection, immunohistochemistry staining, in-situ hybridisation and western blotting. Currently, my research focuses into investigating androgen signalling in cardiomyocytes and looking at the affects on cardiac metabolism using a cell culture model.
