Biography
My key role involves providing patient and public involvement (PPI) administrative support on a project funded by the Steve Morgan Foundation entitled 'Towards translation: improving the functional survival of stem cell-derived beta cells'. I closely work with Prof. Shanta Persaud, Prof. Aileen King and Prof. Peter Jones to provide efficient operations support in liaising with the project's PPI steering group and the research team at King's College London.
Research
Islet Biology Research Group
Our group studies the fundamental science of islets of Langerhans, from the molecular biology of beta-cells to their effects on whole body physiology. We research the mechanisms of islet dysfunction during type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes, identify novel therapeutic targets, and work to improve islet transplantation therapy for type 1 diabetes.
