ISTM Research themes: 1. Neuroscience & Human Metabolism
2. Clinical & Diagnostic Science

Research Interests:

  • Study of how polymorphic genes interact with environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation to influence susceptibility and outcome in multiple sclerosis, basal cell carcinoma and prostate cancer.
  • Selection of candidate genes, identification of allelic variants and construction of haplotypes. Use of advanced statistics to identify genetic and environmental influences on risk in patient subgroups.
  • Work based on multispeciality teams of biochemists, clinicians and statisticians.
