Understanding Drug and Metabolite Transport in the Human Body
Our team focuses on understanding the molecular basis for drug and nutrient transport in the human body, delving deep into the intricate mechanisms that govern how these essential substances move across cellular membranes, interact with various receptors, and ultimately influence physiological processes. By exploring the complex pathways involved in transport, we aim to uncover critical insights that could lead to the development of more effective therapies and nutritional strategies, ultimately enhancing human health and wellbeing.

Meetings & outreach
Proteins don’t sit still, and neither does structural biology.
I’m delighted to be co-organising the BCA Biological Structures Group Winter Meeting 2026 with Rachael Wilkinson: “Capturing Proteins in Motion“. The meeting covers NMR, cryo-EM, mass spectrometry, crystallography and simulation: the full toolkit for seeing how proteins move.
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Biophysical Society Conference, Protons in Biology: Basic Science to Biomedicine, taking place August 1-4, 2027, at Keble College, University of Oxford, in Oxford, United Kingdom.
Well done to Dr’s Oliver Adams and Chitra Joshi for hosting our exhibition on the role of transporters in regulating body odour at the British Summer Science Festival in London!
