Project/study information 

Our principal research interests are in genetic and molecular endocrinology, including disorders of nuclear hormone synthesis and action, with a particular interest in Resistance to Thyroid Hormone due to defective thyroid hormone receptor beta or alpha. 

We also operate an internationally renowned service for diagnosis and management of rare thyroid disorders, and undertake research to develop biomarkers of hormone action and trial therapies that may also be applicable to commoner forms of thyroid dysfunction or other metabolic disorders.
