Experimental Therapeutics
Research is focused on the closely linked areas of diabetes and coronary heart disease. This has three main goals:
Identification of biomarkers of disease for the early diagnosis of patients before symptoms develop, and which also respond to treatment so that they can be used as surrogate outcome measures in clinical trials.
Clinical trials of dietary polyphenols to develop an evidence-based approach to improving vascular health or reducing diabetes through optimised foods and nutraceutical products.
Characterisation of cellular and molecular actions of dietary polyphenols in order to define targets for future drug development.
