Up from Slavery by Richard E. van der Ross

The group are now actively developing a long acting growth hormone antagonist. This work led to a greater understanding of the regulation of growth hormone secretion and the group have developed a long acting form of growth hormone and this work was published in Nature Medicine in 2007. My group have identified and characterised uncommon mutations in the growth hormone receptor which have led to fundamental observations on the mechanism by which the growth hormone receptor signals through a pre-formed dimer. The focus of both my clinical and basic research is on optimising endocrine hormone replacement.
