My reasearch focusses on natural products therapeutics and biomolecular interactions and have spanned the gamut of methodologies from clinical trials, analyticial analyses to molecular level/computational studies. A wide array of biochemical skills and knowledge enable me to apply these to such a wide range of research projects and have underpinned many research collaborations (including national and international). 

Research projects include investigating

• natural product therapeutics as anti-cancer/anti-inflammatory agents (ginger, wasabi)
• design of anti-adhesive agents to combat bacterial infection using computational computing approaches 
• impact of ginger on gut microbiome (mothur/R programming)
• Design of a range of human trial studies
• Anayltical instrumentation (HPLC/UV/MS) to quantify & identify components in biological, plant or supplement samples such as the analysis of ginger supplements and pre-workout supplements,

I have successfully supervised numerous PhD, Masters & Honours students as well as a number of Medical (MD) Student Research projects (Systematic Review - Effectiveness of Point of Care Testing in Primary Care)
