Dr Thomas Fath
    
School of Medical Sciences
Statement of Interests:
The primary research focus of the lab is on the regulation of the cytoskeleton in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease with a particular interest in the microfilament system. For this we employ cell and tissue cultures, prepared from genetically modified mice which express altered levels of the actin dynamics-regulating protein tropomyosin. Other projects in the lab focus on the role of the cytoskeleton in early neuronal development. Recent outcome of these projects demonstrate that tropomyosin isoforms regulate early processes such as neurite formation in an isoform-specific manner.

School of Medical Sciences - Department of Anatomy
Statement of Interests:
Interests are in the fields of muscle physiology and cell biology. Particularly interested in aspects of novel structural and cytoskeletal proteins and complexes and their involvement in normal muscle physiology and disease processes. Diseases of interest include muscular dystrophy and other congenital myopathies, diabetes and obesity. Have an interest in treatment of muscle diseases, including exercise.

Statement of Interests:
1.Understanding the role of the gene
Gtf2ird1
in brain development and human behaviour and its contribution towards the characteristic features of Williams-Beuren syndrome. 2. Understanding the gene regulatory networks involved in the control of muscle fibre type in order to develop strategies to combat the effects of disease and ageing.
