    Biography: Research Interests:
    development, sensory systems, nuclear receptors, thyroid hormone.

    To a significant extent, our research has its origins in my early training at EMBL working on the erbA oncogene and its cellular progenitor, which encodes a thyroid hormone receptor. Our study of novel phenotypes in receptor knockouts has led to a current focus on the development of hearing and the colour visual system.

    Training:
    1987 PhD, Univ. of Glasgow / Beatson Institute for Cancer Research.
    1987 Postdoc with B. Vennström, EMBL and Karolinska Institute.
    1991 Postdoc with T. Curran, Roche Inst. of Molecular Biology, NJ, USA.
