Research areas
Dr Garrie’s research background is in the field of cell signalling, epigenetics, and cancer research with emphasis on leukemia and colorectal cancer. Current research interests include:
- Etiological studies on HPV in oropharyngeal cancer patients
- The role of receptor signalling on colorectal cancer
- The role of novel factors driving islet inflammation and pancreatic beta-cell death in Type-2 diabetes.
Opportunities to carry out postgraduate research towards an MPhil/PhD in the School of Science and Technology exist and further information may be obtained from the NTU Graduate School.
