Dr. Hindmarch’s 'Environment Genome Interface" lab has research interests in the transcriptional control of pulmonary hypertension. His lab utilizes well controlled pre-clinical models, and ‘omic techniques (genomics, proteomics, methylomics, transcriptomics etc), together with bioinformatic analysis to establish stable signatures of gene expression in various tissues relevant to the disease. Dr Hindmarch also has a long-standing interest in structures of the brain that underpin hydromineral homeostasis, and cardiovascular control.
