Current research

Molecular function of Androglobin on ciliogenesis

Androglobin is a newly discovered protein that has some highly unusual features. We are the first lab to be able to generate domains of the protein recombinantly. We are exploring how the molecular structure and function of this protein is involved in ciliogenesis, the formation of cilia in human cells.

Next generation of Artificial oxygen carriers for oxygen therapeutics and blood substitutes.

Artificial, cell free Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers are an ideal blood substitute – in theory. After 40 years of research there are still issues with this potential life saving technology. At Essex we have developed a new generation of genetically engineered artificial Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers for use in treatment of specific conditions including trauma and Sickle Cell crisis.
