Research Interests

RESEARCH INTERESTS: Using molecular biological techniques, I am currently investigating the specific G-proteins that are linked to orexin and adiponectin receptors, and elucidating the intracellular signal transduction pathways of orexin receptors in both human and rodent tissues. Cloning and characterising the promoter regions of these receptors is a major focus of my research. My research interests also include G-protein coupled receptor dimerization using co-immunoprecipitation, various adaptations of fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET and BRET) techniques- collaborations have been set up with Prof Eiden (Melbourne, Australia), a leading authority in this field.
