Cells contain specialist proteins termed transporters (or solute carriers) which are responsible for the uptake of both nutrients and drug molecules into the cell. My research focuses on developing biochemical tools to understand transporters, in particular those associated with cancer progression (SLC7A11) and treatment (SLC46A1) as well as inflammation (SLC15A4). In addition, I am also involved in understanding the role of solute carriers in fungal glycosylation with the aim of targeting these for drug discovery.
