Wayne Pearce

I began my biological career by studying genetics at the University of Wales, College of Cardiff, involving a project investigating the antibiotic activity of silver ions on bacteria and their gene expression. I then completed an MSc degree at the University of Central Lancashire investigating the tight control of gene expression in embryonic stem cells using the tetracycline responsive promoter. Before coming to London to join the Cell Signalling lab to investigate PI-3K and PTEN signalling pathways, I was involved in various projects at the University of Aberdeen studying cell trafficking to inflamed tissues and the use of gene therapy to alleviate nephritis.
