Who do we work with?
Dr. Richard Callaghan, ANU Canberra
I did my Wellcome
Trust Career Development Fellowship in Oxford working alongside Rich and
his group. Now that Richard has returned to Australia we continue to
collaborate on both functional and structural aspects of P-gp, ABCG2, ABCA4 and PfCRT.
Dr. Beth Coyle, University of Nottingham
With Beth's lab we are investigating the
role of the multidrug ABC transporters in the resistance to chemotherapy in
children's brain tumours. We have jointly supervised several PhD students
and the published fruits of this collaboration are starting to appear. For
example see this paper
and associated press
release
Professor
Gill Stephens, University of Nottingham
With Gill's lab we are starting to look
at how transporters could be used in bioengineering. We have two PhD
students and external funding from industry to explore this question.
Dr Frederica Theodoulou,
Rothamsted Research
Freddie is plant ABC person, and we've
worked on and off over the past few years on the long chain fatty acid
transporters of the peroxisome.
Professor Malcolm Bennett, University
of Nottingham
Work between the two groups
aims to understand the molecular events leading to auxin transport in plant
root cells. We have published papers in Plant Cell, Nature Cell Biology and
Plant Physiology describing the current research into the Arabidopsis
putative auxin permease, Aux1, and continue to investigate this in plants
and in vitro.
