make informed decisions earlier saving significant development costs.
When
using a well established
model of colorectal cancer, the researchers observed that dietary emulsifier consumption was sufficient to
make the
animals more susceptible to developing colonic tumors because this created and maintained a pro-inflammatory environment associated with an altered proliferation / apoptosis (cell death) balance.

model peripheral neuropathy because the embryos develop rapidly and because the larval fish are translucent,
making them ideal for studying the progression
of nerve degeneration in live
animals.

Made major contributions to the field
of immunology through his studies on immune tolerance in
animal models, with particular focus on transplantation tolerance and autoimmunity, in addition to pioneering the
use of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies against T cells, resulting in the development
of Campath - 1H, the first humanised monoclonal antibody to be
used therapeutically.
Making use of cell and
animal models, my laboratory group addresses some

of how ethanol exposure injures the liver, with a goal ofidentifying the individual targets
of ethanol - induced injury and the specific responses
of the key cell types within the liver, as well as the integrated, organismal response to this ethanol - induced injury.
