My research interests

My current research interests are focused on understanding the contribution of translational gene regulation in response to stress and in controlling antibiotic production in Streptomyces bacteria. I am also closely involved in a collaborative project with the University of Surrey on the influence of vitamin D on human gene expression.

Research activity

 Current research projects:

  • Translational control of the heat-shock response in Streptomyces bacteria
  • Effects of vitamin D3 and vitamin D2 supplementation on gene expression in Caucasian and South Asian women
  • Experimental support for research collaborations and genomics services in Brighton Genomics: www.brighton.ac.uk/brighton-genomics

Previous research projects:

  • Effect of sleep deprivation and mistimed sleep on blood transcriptomics
