I am an Honorary Research Fellow in the Microvascular Research Labs in the School of Physiology and Pharmacology.

My research interests lie in microvascular permeability and ultrastructure. My current research is focussed on the kidney glomerulus and glomerular filtration, this interest arose from a discovery made around the minute structure (ultrastructure) of the glomerulus. From this a whole new interrelationship between the podocyte cells and blood vessels on the urinary side of the glomerulus has to be considered which contradicts the currently held simple urodyamics of the glomerulus.
