Frank Thies is a senior scientist whose research interests mainly relate to the influence of various dietary components on cardiovascular function and cardiovascular risk, with particular emphasis being placed on the role of inflammatory processes. He is particularly interested in the mechanisms by which dietary fibres and other dietary components such as lipids and carotenoids can modulate markers for cardiovascular risk such as blood pressure and cholesterol metabolism. Results from his research can inform policy and help for the development of novel dietary guidelines for the prevention of
Gaynor Malloch is a Research Scientist collaborating in studying pest arthropod biology on an international and national scale. Current research interests include: The Scottish Myzus persicae population is being studied using molecular markers to define clones and superclones. The work has already demonstrated a severe genetic bottleneck with less than 20 major clones in the UK. Genotyping identifies several aphid properties including the presence of insecticide resistance mechanisms, host plant preferences and biological properties such as reproductive potential.
