The endocrine system comprises a network of hormone-producing glands that control many important body functions including converting calories into energy, driving tissue and bone growth, controlling heart rate, modulating blood pressure and regulating sexual function, fertility and mood. The Endocrine and Metabolic Medicine Group (Tello, Mansley, Pitt, Stewart) are investigating the cellular processes that underpin the prevention, treatment and health consequences of endocrine disorders.

Using a combination of interdisciplinary approaches including biophysics, functional genomics, transgenic animal models, biochemistry, and molecular tools, we aim to decipher the mechanisms underpinning infertility, lysosomal storage disorders, electrolyte imbalance and heart disease.
