| 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 PhysiologyStatement of Interests:
Noise and age-related hearing loss is the most prominent sensory disability in society. Research based in the newly established Translational Neuroscience Facility in the School of Medical Sciences is extending fundamental research on the cellular and molecular processes of cochlear homeostasis to investigate novel ways to preserve hearing. The work focuses on both peripheral sensory and central brain function.

School of Medical SciencesStatement of Interests:
My major area of interest is in the area of clinical neurophysiology, particularly in the use of nerve excitability techniques as a means of investigating the pathophysiology of neuropathic processes. Measurements of excitability are cutting-edge techniques that provide information related to the activity of a variety of ion channels, energy-dependent pumps and ion exchange processes activated during impulse conduction. These are novel techniques which our group has applied to the study of mechanisms underlying the development of neuropathy and nerve injury. Specifically, we have applied these techniques to the study of metabolic and toxic neuropathies including those that occur secondary to diabetes, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and chemotherapy. Other studies have explored the responses of nerves to ischaemia, natural activity and altered electrolyte balance. Recently, excitability techniques have been applied to the assessment of cortical excitability using transcranial magnetic stimulation and we propose to apply these techniques to the study of neurodegenerative processes and central channelopathies.
