Regulation of protein palmitoylation in the heart by persulphidation

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is known to have cardioprotective qualities. Persulphidation is a reversible post-translational modification (PTM) in which a persulphide group is formed by the reaction of H2S with the thiol groups of cysteine residues in proteins. Read more

Exploring cardio-renal-metabolic interactions in patients with heart failure

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Recent years have highlighted the connections and shared pathophysiology between heart failure, renal impairment, diabetes and obesity, particularly with the evidence of benefit in all of these areas with SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1-receptor agonists. Read more

Investigation of short-term effects of colchicine on blood proteins using proteomics

University of Dundee School of Medicine

The anti-inflammatory medication colchicine has been shown to significantly improve cardiovascular outcomes post heart attack and in chronic heart disease patient groups, suggesting it may be a suitable candidate for repurposing in cardiovascular diseases. Read more

The effect of early-life stress on cardiac function in later life

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Stressful experiences in early childhood can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life. How early-life stress (ELS) influences susceptibility to CVD onset remains largely unknown. Read more

Targeting the extracellular matrix remodelling for the treatment of obesity-associated cardio-renal dysfunction

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Obesity is a risk factor for many chronic metabolic diseases including heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Our lab demonstrated a tight association between increased deposition of extracellular matrix components (e.g. Read more

Modelling blood motion in deformable vessels

University of Dundee School of Science and Engineering

This project aims to introduce a novel approach in studying blood flow in deformable vessels by simultaneously considering both the fluid (blood) and the structure (vessel) through analytical and numerical approaches. Read more
