RESEARCH INTERESTS
Project 1: Marine Natural Products and Drug Discovery
Approximately half of all current drugs are derived from natural products, demonstrating their potential for drug discovery. I assess the pharmacological effects of marine natural products on calcium, sodium and potassium ions in primary cortical cultures, using high throughput screening methodology.
