James Gardiner is an Associate Professor of Molecular Physiology at Imperial College London, specializing in the mechanisms regulating energy homeostasis. He completed a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at the University of Birmingham in 1989 and earned a PhD in Biochemistry and Physiology from Imperial College. His research primarily focuses on using genetic models to investigate novel mechanisms that regulate energy homeostasis. Dr. Gardiner is an expert in utilizing recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) and stereotaxic injection techniques to manipulate protein expression in specific regions of the central nervous system, particularly emphasizing the roles of the hypothalamus and brainstem. His work aims to understand the complex physiological processes that regulate energy and glucose homeostasis, identifying the roles of various proteins, including prokineticins, and exploring their potential as therapeutic targets for obesity treatment. His research has been supported by significant funding from organizations such as the BBSRC, MRC, and the EU.
