Research focus

Cell biology
We are all ageing, and with age come disease. Why does this happen? Why do our tissues stop healing properly? Our lab uses zebrafish as a model to try and answer these questions.

Our ultimate aim is to identify therapeutic targets that can be used to incentivate tissue rejuvenation and ameliorate multiple diseases of ageing.

The Smurf Assay (SA) was initially developed in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster where a dramatic increase of intestinal permeability has been shown to occur during aging (Rera et al., 2011). We have since validated the ...
