What we do
My research programme is concerned with the study of the biology of
skeletal muscle.
The major areas of research are focused towards the
identification of progenitor cell types that contribute to skeletal
muscle regeneration, and the genetic and functional manipulation of
these cell populations to enhance muscle repair.
Another prominent line of investigation is the assessment of the potential role of muscle progenitor cells in skeletal muscle regenerative medicine and in the treatment of muscular dystrophies. My research is supported by a GOSH Children's Charity award.
