Research Interests:

My work investigates spinal cord neuronal networks using lower vertebrates as model systems. The aim is to understand how different classes of nerve cell interact to generate rhythmic locomotor outputs. I also examine how spinal cord injury introduces changes in locomotor networks and sensory inputs below lesion sites to influence recovery.

Research Interests:

I have an existing project - in collaboration with University of Liberia researchers, Golden Veroleum Liberia (a major oil palm developer), the Forestry Development Authority of the Government of Liberia, and local communities - that is investigating the ecological impacts of oil palm cultivation in Sinoe County, Liberia. I plan to expand on this project to better understand the socio-ecological impacts.

Research Interests:

My research interests lie on the identification and characterization of the mechanisms important in the early stages of cancer development and how these differ in different cancer subtypes and with different risk mutations. I am equally interested in the epidemiology of breast cancer and the influence of different risk factors on cancer prevalence in different populations. With the aim of developing strategies for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, I currently use genetic models to recapitulate breast cancer initiation and analyse the changes occurring in the tissue prior to the establishment of tumours to identify these early mechanisms.
