Dental implications of GLP-1 receptor obesity medicines

The study of the oral effects of medications is of utmost importance in an aging multi-morbid yet dentate population. Obesity treatment medicines such as GLP-1 receptor agonists Wegovy and Mounjaro are now widely prescribed due to the high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the UK and beyond. Read more

Machine Learning–Driven Imaging of Cardiac Microstructure in Diabetes and Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Diabetes and cardiometabolic disorders are major contributors to heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which remains poorly understood and challenging to diagnose early (Upadhya & Kitzman, 2020; Shah et al., 2016). Read more

A live-cell biosensor for real-time monitoring of cortisol dynamics

This project will develop the first genetically-encoded biosensor for real-time monitoring of cortisol dynamics in living cells. By combining protein engineering, molecular biology, and confocal imaging, we will enable spatiotemporal analysis of cortisol signalling with unprecedented precision. Read more
