Current research: 

My research interests are in three main areas: 1) Human NAFLD; In depth proteomics, transcriptomics and advanced bioinformatics analysis of human liver samples have enabled us to highlight a number of novel proteins associated with hepatic lipid droplets with links to type 2 diabetes, cancer as well as lipophagy. 2) Mapping of protein-protein interactions using biotin in vivo proximity labeling (BioID) 3) Investigating the role of ARFGAP1, an ARF-activating/ COPI uncoating protein, on hepatic lipid droplets.

Projects: 

We look at proteins that associate with lipid droplets in relation to human fatty liver disease.
