Interests
My research focusses on the skin basement membrane and specifically laminin 332 a three-chained glycoprotein which is copiously secreted by epithelial cells. We have demonstrated an important role for laminin 332 in skin ageing, squamous cell carcinoma invasion, cholesterol transport and in skin immune regulation. To study these diverse functions we have generated co-culture and 3D skin models including models of aged skin that have allowed us to test gene knockdowns and drug treatments. We have also developed and validated a high throughput screen to identify compounds altering cholesterol transport within the skin.Publications
