What is the role of steroid hormones made in the brain?

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Many behaviours differ between the sexes and this is often controlled by hormones. In our laboratory, we explore how hormones regulate behaviours that differ between the sexes. Read more

We are what we eat: Plants and their effects on the brain

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Plants synthesize many compounds that can act like hormones in mammals. A class of plant compounds called phytosteroids act like steroid hormones and may influence anxiety, reproduction and healthy aging, though the mechanisms by which these signal are poorly understood.

Using CRISPR to study the molecular mechanisms of thrombosis and haemostasis

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Platelets are the small cells in the blood whose job it is to prevent bleeding. Under normal conditions, when they encounter a damaged blood vessel they become activated and form a thrombus. Read more

The impact of micro- and nanoplastics on haemostasis and thrombosis

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Plastics naturally degrade into microscopic particles over time. While the environmental consequences of micro- and nanoplastic (MNP) pollution are well-documented, these particles are increasingly making their way into the food chain. Read more
