Biography

I am a Reader and Research Group Leader within the Department of Biological and Biomedical Sciences at Glasgow Caledonian University in Glasgow, UK. My research interests centre on elucidating protective functions of the p53 tumour suppressor protein in the liver. I am particularly interested in uncovering non-tumour functions for p53 during, for example, liver regeneration, in the response to overfeeding, and in the progression from fatty liver (NAFLD) to NASH and liver cancer (HCC). My work is supported by grant funding from Tenouvs Scotland (2022-2023), the Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS) Springboard scheme (2023-2025), and the UK Medical Research Council through a New Investigator Research Grant (2024-2027).
