My research is focused on the translational theme of inflammation, immunity and infection in cerebrovascular disease and is inter-disciplinary in nature. Inflammation, infections and immune dysregulation influence both the risk and causation of stroke, and also have a significant impact on the outcome after a stroke. For example, pneumonia complicates at least 10% of strokes and has a devastating effect on clinical outcomes, increasing the chances of death 3 fold. Targeting inflammation, immune responses and infections in this setting therefore offers exciting therapeutic opportunities to modify stroke risk and improve outcomes for patients.
I am interested in how inflammation and immune responses are altered prior to, and after stroke, and how these responses (and infections) might contribute to worse outcome. I am also interested in how we can more accurately diagnose pneumonia after stroke, better predict which patients are at risk of developing it, and improve care processes/ develop interventions to reduce the occurence of pneumonia.
My research includes experimental studies of respiratory tract infection as a translational infection paradigm in pre-clinical stroke (Professor Stuart Allan, Dr Kieron South). It also includes wide-ranging clinical studies of inflammatory/immune mechanistic and prognostic biomarkers in stroke and infection; plus intervention studies to reduce harmful inflammation produced after stroke, and interventions to reduce the risk of pneumonia by targeting oral biofilm and oro-pharyngeal aspiration. More recently, my research has focused on the links between infection with COVID-19, thromboinflammation and stroke.
I currently supervise/co-supervise 8 PhD students including both clinicians and basic scientists. I lead the Stroke-IMPaCT clinical cohort study and MRC B-cell cohort study at Manchester Centre for Clinical Neurosciences and also the multicentre CHOSEN trial.
