  • Stratified interventions in acute tissue injury led by Dr Charlotte Summers (Cambridge). This programme has a UK-wide network of co-investigators and collaborators:

Co-Investigators:ÌýProf Geoff Bellingan (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø),ÌýProf John Simpson (Newcastle),ÌýProf Mark Griffiths (QMUL),ÌýProf Danny McAuley (QUB),ÌýProf Peter Openshaw (ICL),ÌýDr Adam Brown (GSK)

Collaborators:ÌýProf David Thickett (Birmingham),ÌýDr Kenneth Ballie (Edinburgh),ÌýProf Julien Knight (Oxford),ÌýProf Charles Hinds (QMUL)

The intractable critical care problem of ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) is currently at an earlier stage of development but if positive, will facilitate the rapid translation to clinical endotyping. The strategy is to employ advanced bioinformatic analysis of available clinical samples in order to identify actionable clinical endotypes and shortly thereafter, initiate a clinical trial using a suitable asset available from the large GSK portfolio of immune modulators.

  • Epigenetic modifications in Dupuytren's Diseases (DD), Mr Neil Millar and Prof. Iain McInnes (Newcastle).ÌýThis project will explore the epigenetic regulation of the IL-13 receptor in this condition. DD is a clinical problem in its own right but also an intriguing model of fibrosis in an accessible (biopsy possible) tissue site that can offer inferential advances of fibrotic disorders of major organs which are difficult to study for the obvious challenge of repetitive access to major organ tissue.
