Personal profile

Research interests

I am an experienced developmental geneticist and molecular biologist aiming to discover mechanisms explaining the developmental origins of health and disease, using the mouse as a model. Through more than twenty years working in Professor Andrew Ward’s group my particular interest has come to lie in how genes that are regulated by genomic imprinting function in mother and offspring during prenatal and early postnatal life to influence body composition (i.e. fat and lean proportions) and metabolic health in later life. I have focused on the gene Grb10 (Growth Factor Receptor Bound Protein 10) because of its importance in fetal growth, lean mass accrual and insulin signalling and its link with nutrient sensing via regulation of and by MTOR.
