Research
I completed my doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge, UK, focusing on insulin receptor mutations in patients with severe syndromes of insulin resistance. Since then my research interest is focused on understanding insulin action at the molecular level. Work in my research group is currently focused on three broad areas, all centred around skeletal muscle metabolism. These include understanding the role non-coding RNA directs muscle metabolism and insulin sensitivity, transcriptional regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism and the effects of metabolites, hormones and other circulatory factors. We are interested in how insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism are affected by type 2 diabetes and by exercise, both at the cellular level and by studying people with or without type 2 diabetes after various exercise interventions.
