Author Information
Frances Mary Ashcroft is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Department of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics at the University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PT, UK. Her extensive research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying insulin secretion and diabetes, among other physiological processes.Research Contributions
Frances Mary Ashcroft has made significant contributions to the field of genetics and physiology, particularly in the study of diabetes. Her research has unveiled critical insights into the genetic variants that influence insulin secretion and their impact on diabetes progression. Notably, her recent work in 2021 has explored the KCNJ11-E23K gene variant and its role in diabetes, as well as the dynamic interplay of PIP2 and ATP in the regulation of the KATP channel. Additionally, she has investigated the metabolic regulation of insulin secretion in both health and disease, and devised innovative methods for the dissection-independent production of Plasmodium sporozoites from mosquitoes.Aliases
Frances Mary Ashcroft is also known by various aliases including F. М. Ashcroft, Fran Ashcroft, Francesco Ashcroft, and F. M. Ashcroft among others. These names are often used interchangeably in academic publications and records.Publication and Citation Metrics
