معرفی
Professor David Thwaites is affiliated with Newcastle University, focusing on membrane transport physiology and pharmacology. His research spans nutrient and drug transport mechanisms in mammalian intestines, transporter families (SLC15, SLC36), and symbiotic metabolic integration in aphids.
- Academic Rank: Professor
- Institution: Newcastle University
Research Interests include:
- Proton-coupled nutrient transporters
- SLC transporter family characterization
- Drug absorption via intestinal carriers
- Molecular mechanisms of amino acid/dipeptide uptake
- Role of transporters in cancer and symbiosis
Scientific Contributions highlight transporter structure-function relationships, notably in SLC6A14 (ATB0,+) and PAT1 (SLC36A1). His work on aphid/Buchnera symbiosis elucidates evolutionary nutrient exchange strategies.
