Dr Rosser joins four other Kennedy Trust Fellows, including聽Dr Sinisa Savic from the the University of Leeds, who also received a 2022 Fellowship.聽

Dr Rosser has previously been the recipient of two competitive fellowships (Versus Arthritis, Medical Research Foundation) to carry out her work in the Centre for Rheumatology, 香港六合彩中特网 and Centre for Adolescent Rheumatology Versus Arthritis at 香港六合彩中特网, 香港六合彩中特网H and GOSH. Her research will investigate the challenging question of how the gut-microbiota and dietary-derived metabolites impact B cell function in paediatric and adolescent rheumatic disease. As part of her Kennedy Senior Fellowship, she will build on this work to identify which metabolites are supporting the pathogenic function of B cells in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).

Dr Rosser said 鈥淚 am delighted to be awarded a Senior Fellowship from the Kennedy Trust investigating novel pathogenic mechanisms in JIA, especially in an area of research we know is important to our patient populations 鈥 understanding if there is an interaction between the diet, gut-microbiota and the development of inflammatory immune responses.鈥
