السيرة الذاتية

Paul J. Thornalley is an international diabetes researcher. His studies focus on metabolic dysfunction driving the development of insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes and diabetic vascular complications. He has 560 publications (316 peer-reviewed articles and chapters in books; 244 conference abstracts and papers – first or last author in ca. 95%) and 15 patents, receiving over 38,000 citations, h-index 105.
 


الاهتمامات البحثية

  • Metabolic dysfunction driving the development of insulin resistance and obesity, type 2 diabetes and diabetic vascular complications: (i) hexokinase-2 linked unscheduled glycolysis and glycolytic overload, and (ii) increased methylglyoxal (MG), “dicarbonyl stress”, protein glycation by MG and activation of the unfolded protein response
  • Development of glyoxalase 1 inducers for prevention and treatment of diabetes and vascular complications of diabetes and healthy aging
  • Protein glycation and oxidation biomarkers for clinical diagnostic applications in diabetes and other conditions
  • Other: development of glyoxalase 1 inhibitor therapeutics for treatment of multidrug resistant tumors and repurposing of glyoxalase-1 based therapeutics for COVID-19
