Profile

For enquiries please contact - ClinMed-Operational@sheffield.ac.uk

Originally trained in biochemistry and molecular biology I joined the University of 91直播 in 2005 as a post-doctoral scientist in the Academic Unit of Biomedical Genetics. In this position I worked exclusively for York Pharma on the early stage development of novel therapeutics and diagnostics for atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and malignant melanoma. In 2009 I joined 91直播 Dermatology Research as a post-doctoral Research Associate. The focus of my research in this role was improving our understanding of the structure and function of the epidermal (skin) barrier and its role in the development of disorders such as atopic dermatitis (AD). At the beginning of 2012 I was awarded a 3-year unencumbered research fellowship from Johnson & Johnson to continue my research on the skin barrier and set up a dedicated research facility for conducting human skin research. Since then I have continued to conduct and lead translational dermatology research as an independent fellow.

Research interests

The skin serves as an important barrier that keeps moisture in the body and prevents the incursion of harmful exogenous agents, such as irritants and allergens, and resists the invasion of pathogens. A growing body of evidence suggests a primary role for the 鈥榮kin barrier鈥 in the pathogenesis of a broad range of inflammatory skin disorders, including contact dermatitis, ichthyosis, psoriasis, rosacea and atopic dermatitis (AD). Repeated barrier disruption for instance induces epidermal hyperplasia and inflammation. Current medicine is based on the reactive treatment of these downstream consequences of skin barrier dysfunction, and includes the use of both anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative compounds. My research focuses on increasing our understanding of the skin barrier defect and developing treatments to correct it under the following core themes:

  • Gene-environment interactions in the development of atopic dermatitis
  • Development of treatments for atopic dermatitis
  • The improvement of neonatal skincare
  • Interaction of topical pharmaceutical and cosmetic agents with the skin barrier

A greater understanding of the underlying skin barrier defect promises to firstly identify susceptible individuals early on, and secondly to deliver novel therapeutic options for targeted skin barrier repair with the potential to prevent the development of clinical disease.

Current Projects:

  • Characterisation of the skin barrier defect in atopic dermatitis using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy
  • Improving neonatal skincare: the Skin Testing for Atopic eczema Risk (STAR) study
  • Characterizing the microcirculation of atopic dermatitis using angiographic optical coherence tomography
  • Evaluation of topical emollients and bath/wash emollients
  • Effect of topical anti-inflammatory treatments on the structure and function of the skin barrier
  • Hygiene and emollient interventions for maintaining skin integrity in older people in hospital and residential care settings
  • A Comparison between Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) determined basal cell carcinoma (BCC) margins against surgeon excision margins and histology 鈥 an observational pilot study
