香蕉视频
香蕉视频 interests focus on breathomics as a non-Invasive early diagnostic tool for malignant mesothelioma and detecting selected asbestos mineral fibres and biomarker discovery using multiplex analytical techniques. Other studies are exploring novel therapeutic PDT reagents specifically targeted to the mesothelioma tumour microenviroment.
Cellular interactions and Immunoregulation in Cancer
My principal research interests involve cellular interactions and immunoregulation; especially the importance of these mechanisms in cancer.
香蕉视频 over the past decade has greatly increased our understanding of non-apoptotic programmed cell death events, such as necrosis and cell death with autophagy. It is becoming clear that an intricate effector network connects many of these classical and non-classical death pathways. My primary research interest is to examine these pathways, as well as to exploit this newly gained knowledge to provide therapeutics for cancer.
Understanding the Pathogenesis of Mesothelioma
Current laboratory investigations are focussing on the physical profile of selected mineral fibres and emerging biomarkers in mesothelioma using a combination of mass spectrometry, flow cytometry and histopathology techniques. Other aims include biomarker discovery using multiplex analytical techniques and to contribute to the knowledge base surrounding mesothelioma pathogenesis. Such techniques would ultimately involve future integration into the clinical workflow; diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring of mesothelioma, as well as contributing to knowledge about the pathogenesis of the disease.
Improving the Management of Fibromyalgia
Other collaborative research interests explore the life and treatment experience of people in the United Kingdom with fibromyalgia to inform the development of treatments which are both effective and acceptable to users.
