Research Summary
Model Systems
Research Methods
My primary research interest is chrono-nutrition, the interaction between biological rhythms and meal response. I am actively researching both the effect of meal timing to synchronise circadian rhythms, and the differential response to meals consumed at different times of day. Other interests include the study of human clocks in peripheral tissues, using serial biopsy approaches. My research uses human participants (healthy volunteers and patient groups).
