Biography

My research spans the metabolic biochemistry, integrative physiology, endocrinology and analytical chemistry fields. Specifically, I am interested in insulin and glucagon secretion and action as well as understanding how pathways of central carbon metabolism (glucose, lipids, amino acids) are coordinated across different organ systems (liver, muscle, pancreas, adipose) in vivo. A particular interest is in the organ specific evolution of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia along with the role they play in disease development, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. I am also interested in skeletal muscle phospholipid metabolism and how it relates to mitochondrial structure and function. I utilise both human and rodent in vivo experimentation, and am specialised in the use of stable isotope metabolic tracer methodology and quantitative targeted metabolomics. I also manage the biological gas chromatography-mass spectrometry platform within the Metabolic Research Unit at the School of Medicine.
