About Gerald
My area of expertise is in multiple drug resistance in cancer. A major problem in treating cancer is the development of drug resistance. I have previously demonstrated doxorubicin (DOX) resistance in K562 human leukemia cells that was associated with upregulation of glyoxalase 1 (GLO-1) and histone H3 expression. The thiazolidinedione troglitazone (TRG) downregulated GLO-1 expression and further upregulated histone H3 expression and post-translational modifications in these cells, leading to a regained sensitivity to DOX. Given the pleiotropic effects of epigenetic changes in cancer development, we hypothesized that TRG may downregulate the multiple drug resistance (MDR) phenotype in a variety of cancer cells.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
Gerald worked hard to achieve his status as a researcher and professor. Starting out as a musician and later achieving a PHD from Oxford tells an interesting journey of a life well spent. Gerald is still working after trying retirement and missing his connection with research and students. He is an excellent teacher with patience and a great sense of humour. Anyone would be fortunate to receive their learning experience through Gerald Davies.
