About
After receiving my degree in Natural Sciences from Brunel University in 1993, I completed my PhD at the University of Bristol (1996).
Subsequently, I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Universities of Durham and Manchester.
In 1999, I was appointed to a Lectureship in Cell Biology within the School of Life Sciences at Kingston University. I became a Senior Lecturer in 2001 and a Reader in 2006. I was promoted to Professor of Cell Biology in 2011.
I currently teach on a range of bioscience programmes and lead an active research group. In my laboratory, we particularly focus on the cell biology of schistosomes, important parasites that cause the neglected tropical disease human schistosomiasis.
Qualifications
- 2001 - Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, Kingston University

- 1993 - BSc (Hons) Natural Science (Biology and Biochemistry), Brunel University
Domains
Human schistosomiasis, caused by blood fluke parasites such as Schistosoma mansoni, is a neglected tropical disease that infects over 260 million people across 76 countries. Research within the Walker Laboratory aims to better understand the basic biology of these parasites and how they interact with their mammalian and snail hosts. By employing techniques such as protein kinase assay, confocal laser scanning microscopy/immunohistochemistry, RNA interference, and phenotype assays the research seeks to define the fundamental mechanisms by which cellular proteins regulate schistosome form and function. The research could result in the identification of candidate proteins for the development of novel anti-schistosome drugs. Key areas include:
- Functional mapping of protein kinase signalling in Schistosoma mansoni
- Understanding schistosome function through integration of cellular networks
- Signalling through lipid rafts in Schistosoma mansoni
- Male-female schistosome interactions
- Phosphoproteomics of schistosomes
- Immunity of Biomphalaria glabrata, intermediate host to Schistosoma mansoni
