| Dr Mark Dziegielewski
School of Medical Sciences - Department of PathologyStatement of Interests:
My main area of interest is medical education, specifically the evaluation of gains derived from computer assisted learning. An additional interest is cancer biology, in particular, the cell biology of the metastatic process and the role of cell adhesion molecules in signal transduction and cell-matrix interactions.

School of Medical Sciences - Department of PathologyStatement of Interests:
In terms of colorectal (bowel) cancer, the work of the laboratory is focussed on understanding the molecular changes that drive the process of cancer development. There is an emphasis on the role of DNA methylation in the development of bowel cancer, and on the correlation between microscopic appearances of cancer, and the key genetic changes occuring in the tumour.

| Dr Mark Hill
School of Medical Sciences - Department of AnatomyStatement of Interests:
My current research in the Cell Biology Laboratory is looking at the skeleton within each cell and the biological mechanisms use to change and regulate shape. The description of these mechanisms leads to a better understanding of, and perhaps influence on, these changes occurring in disease, development and during cell repair. Analysis in the School employs the powerful tools of molecular biology, tissue culture and image analysis techniques.

School of Medical Sciences - Department of PathologyStatement of Interests:
In vivo and in vitro models of the cellular biology and immunopathology of respiratory disease. Major focus is the role of cytokines and growth factors in the pathogenesis of chronic asthma and acute exacerbations, using novel experimental models in mice. Ongoing collaborations with colleagues at the University of Newcastle/Australian National University, using gene-targeted mice and drug/antibody treatments to study the contribution of specific cytokines to inflammation, remodelling and airway hyper-reactivity; and the influence of early-life infections on the severity of chronic disease and susceptibility to acute exacerbations. Expertise in morphometry and immunohistochemistry has led to involvement in various other collaborative projects e.g. related to pancreatic disease and hepatitis.

| Ms Nalini Pather
School of Medical SciencesStatement of Interests:
In the field of medical education, collaborative work with collegues as Macquarie University and in South Africa and the USA is concerned with curriculum design and assessment. In the field of cell biology, collaborative work with colleagues in South Africa relates to wound healing and the role of keratinocyte and fibrocyte cell migration. In the field of tissue regeneration, collaborative work at the University of New South Wales focusses on the role of angiogenesis on muscle regeneration and stem cell therapy. In the field of clinical anatomy, collaborative work with clinicians in South Africa and USA is concerned anatomy in relation to new endoscopic surgical procedures.
