Clayton Gentilcore's work spans two distinct areas: early research on the evolutionary biology and biochemistry of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), examining how activation of this ion channel by protein cleavage evolved alongside vertebrates' transition from water to land; and more recent work on converting plastic waste (such as polystyrene and disposable face masks) into oils using low-pressure hydrothermal processing, a chemical engineering approach to recycling plastics into usable liquid fuels or feedstocks. This shift suggests a move from molecular physiology/evolution toward environmental and sustainability-focused chemical processing.
