Olivia is researching the regulation of cell fate by heparan sulphate with a particular interest in growth factors and their receptors. The main focus of the study is to test the hypothesis that heparan sulphate structures can regulate the intracellular signalling and cellular processes initiated by members of the FGF family of growth factors. Further areas of research include the use of synthetic and non-mammalian derived glycosaminoglycans as mimetics for heparan sulphate in the FGF signalling system.
