[3] Vincent has conducted work on the Wnt signalling pathways that help to regulate cell-to-cell interactions.
His work on cell signalling and behaviour has led to an improved understanding of diseases such as cancer in which fundamental biological processes are altered.
His certificate of election reads:JP Vincent has used his training in mathematics, physics to devise new techniques to solve important problems in developmental biology.
Later, he introduced an HRP fusion strategy to study trafficking and epithelial organisation in transgenic animals.
His work has spurred many others to investigate how trafficking modulate signalling pathways[4]He is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences.
