- Profile
-
I was an academic at University of Sheffield from 2002-2021 following training in molecular pharmacology. I am currently Professor of Human Nutrition and Health at Newcastle University. I continue to collaborate closely with colleagues in Sheffield, including jointly supervising multiple PhD students.
- Research interests
-
Work in my group examines the relationship between diet, short-chain fatty acid production and metabolism and cell fate in the normal and neoplastic colon.
Butyrate, cell fate determination and the role of keratins: Butyrate is described as an inhibitor of histone deacetylases – (although we disagree with this: Corfe, 2012), yet it is also a fermentation product of the gut microbiome present at pharmacologically active concentrations in the normal healthy colon lumen. It has been implicated as a mechanism for cancer prevention by fibre. A growing literature recognises protein acetylation as a regulatory mechanism comparable with phosphorylation. My group studies the cytoskeletal proteins keratin 8, 18 and 19 (Leech et al., 2008; Corfe et al., 2015; Evans et al., 2015) whose functions are controlled, inter alia, by acetylation and which are critical for normal metabolism in the colon,
Diet, Nutrition and Irritable Bowel Syndrome: IBS is a prevalent, complex, multifactorial and under-funded / under-researched condition. My team are actively investigating the potential of nutrients in management of IBS, particularly vitamin D (Tazzyman et al., 2015).
