| Hons/MPhil/PhD | Physiological regulation and the role of calcium transporters |
| | Suited to students interested in a career in biomedical research.
How calcium transporters in the cell function and what their specific roles in biological pathways are is not fully understood. This project seeks to investigate calcium transporters using molecular biology techniques and advanced techniques for the measurement of intracellular calcium. |
