Simon J. Conway studies how tissues respond to injury and disease at the molecular level, with a strong focus on fibrosis (scar-like tissue buildup) in the heart and other organs. A recurring interest is the protein periostin and related signaling pathways that drive fibroblast activation, inflammation, and remodeling. The work also covers developmental biology, including genes involved in congenital heart defects and bone-related conditions like neurofibromatosis-associated fractures.
