معرفی
Julian A. Dow is a Professor and Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow's School of Molecular Biosciences. His research centers on the molecular physiology of ion transport and cell signaling pathways in Drosophila, employing genetic, transgenic, and functional genomics approaches to study renal function, stress tolerance, and metabolic regulation. Recent work includes the development of bioinformatic tools like FlyAtlas and investigations into epithelial barrier integrity and nutrient-responsive hormonal circuits.
Dow's research integrates molecular biology with systems physiology to explore:
- Ion and water transport mechanisms in renal tubules
- Genetic models of kidney disease and metabolic homeostasis
- Evolutionary origins of insect renal systems
- Neuroendocrine control of stress adaptation
His publications emphasize Drosophila as a model for renal physiology, leveraging transcriptomics, metabolomics, and genetic screens to uncover conserved biological principles. Recent articles highlight advances in single-cell genomics, epithelial transport, and disease modeling.
Dow collaborates extensively within the Systems Biology research group, focusing on integrative physiology and functional genomics. His lab utilizes resources like FlyAtlas to dissect tissue-specific gene expression and transport phenomena.
