My research looks at the reasons why people get autoimmune endocrine conditions such as Graves' hyperthyroidism and Addison's disease, and also what new treatments might be useful for these conditions. My studies range from laboratory based DNA analysis to clinical trials of new therapies.
Research Interests
Molecular genetics of autoimmune endocrine disorders (eg. Graves' disease, Addison's disease & autoimmune polyendocrinopathies).
Early-phase trials of immunomodulation and regenerative medicine for autoimmune endocrinopathies.
Role of thyroid homeostasis in ageing & outcome of subclinical thyroid diseases in older people.
