Dr. Gary Hardiman, PhD, Professor, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences, School of Biological Sciences, Queen's University, Ireland Dr. Hardman works in the field of systems biology the objective of which is the study of biological systems, including genes, RNAs, proteins, metabolites and cells in a focused manner, and organs, organisms and populations in a broader context. Areas of research focus include studying the effects of man-made contaminants on marine and human health; studying prostate cancer in the context of racial differences and nutritional deficiency; examining the impacts of long term space travel - specifically the effects of nutrition, torpor, space radiation and microgravity on hepatic and intestinal biology; developing a rat model of opioid abuse to better understand the biological basis for substance abuse disorders and advance development of preventive strategies and more efficacious treatments; and developing a robust toolkit for better integration of Omics data sets into genotype-phenotype predictions. He maintains active research collaborations with groups in the USA, Italy, Ireland and Scotland. See less
