Profile

For enquiries please contact - SMPH-West-Operational@sheffield.ac.uk

I graduated from the University of Manchester in 1996 with a BSc (First Class Honours) in Neuroscience. I then completed an MRes in Neuroscience (University of Manchester, 1997) followed by my PhD entitled `Interleukin-1 and its receptors in the brain´ under the supervision of Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell (University of Manchester, 1997-2000).

I joined the University of 91ֱ�� in 2001 to take up my first post-doctoral position, where I was keen to maintain and develop my interest into inflammatory mechanisms in disease, with a focus on the respiratory system. In 2010 I was appointed to a lectureship within the Inflammation Biology Research Group in the Department of Infection, Immunity & Cardiovascular Disease.

During my time at the University of 91ֱ�� my interest in learning and teaching has also continued to develop. In 2014 I was awarded the Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching (PG CiLT), and also became a Fellow of The Higher Education Academy (FHEA). I am currently the Deputy Departmental Director of Learning and Teaching for the Department of Infection, Immunity & Cardiovascular Disease.

Research interests

My current research aims to identify how respiratory viruses infect and trigger proinflammatory responses in airway epithelial cells and to determine how the responses that are generated may be modified. Pathogens are detected by Toll-Like receptors (TLRs), a family of receptors that regulate cell activation, however the mechanisms through which pathogens initiate airway exacerbations remain inadequately defined. A more complete understanding of the host innate immune responses and the complex signalling pathways that are triggered by viral pathogens is crucial, as viruses are a major trigger of acute exacerbations in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

My current goals are investigating key players in these pathways to ultimately enable the development of novel therapeutic targets and approaches to manage airway inflammation.

Teaching interests

I come from a background of scientific research where collaboration, critical thinking and discussion are key to the construction of new knowledge, and I believe these principles can also be applied to my teaching practice within the classroom environment. I am committed to the continual improvement of my own teaching practice, and teaching within my Department and Faculty, and ultimately providing students with the very best learning experiences.

I am Deputy Departmental Director of Learning & Teaching for the Department and I teach at all levels within the Faculty of MDH and for the School of Biosciences (see Teaching activities). I also provide pastoral support to students and am an active member of the Think Ahead mentoring scheme.
