Biography

Alison Brewer is a Senior Lecturer at King’s College London since September 2015, with a focus on Cardiovascular Biology. She graduated from Cambridge University with a BA in Natural Sciences (Genetics) in 1981 and completed her PhD at the Developmental Biology Research Centre at King’s College London in 1995. Brewer's postdoctoral research included working under Professors Roger Patient and Farzin Farzaneh at the Randall Division, investigating the roles of GATA family transcription factors in blood and heart development. Currently, her research interests have expanded to include transcriptional regulation and the molecular pathways that modulate redox changes affecting cellular function and phenotype. This includes studying the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cardiovascular biology, focusing on NADPH oxidases like NOX4, which are critical in maintaining cardiomyocyte and vascular cell function. She also investigates the epigenetic mechanisms of transcriptional regulation influenced by cellular redox states and their implications in cardiovascular dysfunction in diabetic patients.
