Overview
Research Theme
Research Group
Matrix Biology and Tissue Repair
Research Interests
Major research interests in my group focus on the understanding of metalloproteinase function in inflammation and cancer. The groups main focus is to understand the role of metalloproteinases in cellular signalling at the molecular level and design novel therapeutic regimens to control inflammation and cancer. We are also interested in the proteomic and secretomic analysis of cellular signalling pathways regulated by proteolysis.

Teaching
Dr Knauper teaches on the second year BDS course. In the Oral ecosystems module she is discussing the regulation of the mechanism of saliva flow. Aspects of how medication taken for other conditions interferes with saliva flow and function and subsequent tooth decay are taught. She also teaches the mechanisms of integument formation, leading to adhesion of oral microorganisms to the enamel surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation.
Dr Knauper is the DET034 module coordinator for the MSC in Oral Biology. She teaches aspects of matrix degradation and oral cancer development, as well as, scientific methodology.
