    Role on the editorial board

    Lead reviewer for peptide profile pharmacology and mechanism-of-action content. Reviews receptor-binding, pharmacokinetics, drug-delivery, and structure-activity claims across the peptide library.

    Conflict of interest disclosures

    • No equity in peptide manufacturers, online clinics, or research-chemical suppliers.
    • No paid consulting or speaker arrangements with peptide-product companies.
    • Has previously received public-sector research funding (UKRI / MRC) for unrelated pharmacology work; disclosed transparently.

    Disclosures are reviewed annually and updated at the date shown above. See the conflict-of-interest policy for the wider framework.

    Sections reviewed

    • All peptide-profile pages — mechanism of action sections
    • Science section (receptor binding, pharmacokinetics, drug delivery)
    • Evidence grading methodology — pharmacology component

    Citation policy

    Pharmacology and mechanism claims must trace to peer-reviewed published research. Animal-model evidence is acknowledged as such and not extrapolated to human-outcome claims. Mechanism diagrams are simplifications and are labelled as such.

    The site-wide methodology is documented in our evidence grading methodology and editorial standards.
