Research interests

Research interests

I have an interest in transport processes in immune cells, including their genetic regulation (Nramp1, Slc11a1) and more recently, in collaboration with Prof Malcolm East , in the regulation of transport by non-annular phospholipids. Such studies have been directed to drug transporters in bacteria, S.aureus (SAV1866), and a mammalian drug transporter homologue in M.musculus (ABCB1a/b). The latter has been implicated in the failure of therapeutic drugs and should specific regulatory phospholipid binding sites be identified these could constitute sites for attenuating drug resistance.
