Research
Interests are centred on the role of proteases in the biological activation and regulation, particularly from a structural point of view. Projects include investigation of the activation of prokallikreins, with a view to understanding their potential role in prostate cancer progression. The isolation and characterisation of natural inhibitors of insect proteases is aimed at using these inhibitors as deterrents for crop predators, either in their natural state or in a modified (designed) form, in order to improve yields.
