研究领域

Epithelial Transport and the movement of small solutes across biological membranes The underlying theme to my research has been the transport of small solutes and ions across biological membranes, in particular within the kidney and other epithelia. The regulated transport of small solutes such as urea and carbon dioxide plays a critical role in whole body homeostasis. In classifying my current research I would split it into two major themes. Firstly is the transport of water and gases across biological membranes via Aquaporins. This theme incorporates collaborations with Walter Boron (Case Western) and Gordon Cramb (St Andrews). The second theme focuses on the handling of urea by the kidney, a process critical in the ability of the body to concentrate urine. This process of renal urea handling also has implications in the regulation of blood pressure. This theme involves collaborations with Craig Smith (Manchester) and Gavin Stewart (Dublin). Over the last few years I have been actively involved in the redevelopment of the delivery of Physiology practical classes within the University. As part of a Physiological Society funded project I have co-ordinated the production of an online teaching resource that has facilitated the delivery of undergraduate practical sessions.
