Lab members
-
Paul Martin
(Principal Investigator) Paul is interested in anything woundy or linked to inflammation in any model from mouse and man to fish and flies.
-
Francesca Robertson
(Post doc) Francesca will be using Drosophila to investigate how innate immune cells respond to wound cues.
-
Mark Naven
(Post doc) Mark is trying to figure out how the circadian clock might impact on tissue repair via inflammatory cell control of fibroblast matrix deposition.
-
Oscar Peña Cabello
(Post doc) Oscar will be using zebrafish wound models to validate potential "scarring" genes that arise from population health studies in Nic Timpson's lab.
-
Tim Byatt
Tim's PhD project(s) are all led by comparative proteomics. He's comparing how plants heal wounds versus how animals heal wounds versus how cancers progress in animals.
-
Anne George
Anne is a PhD student working on zebrafish wound healing models and is focused on understanding how inflammation regulates some of the lesser studied wound lineages like adipocytes and melanocytes.
-
Terrence Trinca
(Post doc) Terrence will be using Drosophila to screen and characterise novel extravasation genes. He works jointly with the Martin and Weavers labs.
-
Paco Lopez Cuevas
Paco (post doc) is researching how we might reprogramme the inflammatory response to make it better at killing cancer and healing wounds using zebrafish and human cell culture models. He works jointly with Martin and Mann (Chemistry) labs.
-
Esther Prada-Sanchez
Esther is a specialist technician who works half time in our lab on all things fishy.
-
Lucy MacCarthy-Morrogh
Lucy is a Lecturer in the School of Biochemistry. She was previously our lab's Senior Scientific Officer and maintains an interest in the cancer inflammation projects in the lab.
-
Debi Ford
Debi is a senior histology technician and was previously the lab's technical manager.
