Research interests
I am currently investigating the role of androgen receptor in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and how testosterone and prolactin regulate each other in the male HPG axis.
I am also interested in improving the way that biological pathways are depicted as diagrams and have been involved in developing the modified Edinburgh Pathway Notation (mEPN) for use as a dynamic modelling system.

I work within the group of Professor Lee Smith.
