About
Dr Walker has an extensive background in both immunology (BSc, PhD; University of Glasgow) and human pathology (Fellowship; Institute of Biomedical Science - cellular pathology) and developed his research interest into the immunopathogenesis of disease during his postdoctoral studies at the University of Pennsylvania (1996-1999). At Swansea, his main research interests involve studying the immunology of inflammatory disease and cancer. He also has a specific interest in developing novel drugs with a granted patent in the field of siRNA-based therapeutics (Materials & Methods for Treatment of Allergic Disease). Ongoing research includes further studies into developing RNA-based therapeutics and related studies into the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer - with focus on candidate biomarkers and the development of new anti-cancer therapeutics.
