Research

Interests

Graham Riley's primary research interest is the molecular pathology of soft connective tissues such as tendon and ligament. These tissues are common sites of injury, often affected by long-term pain and prone to rupture, even in non-athletic individuals. His research team uses techniques of cell and molecular biology, histology, immunohistochemistry and biochemistry. His team collaborate with clinicians and surgeons at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, in particular the Institute of Orthopaedics, to obtain human tissue samples for analysis.
