Research Fellow
Lizzie has worked as a Research Fellow at the University since 2014 and joined Biological Sciences in 2019.
I have a keen interest in the biology of lung diseases, particularly fibrosis and asthma.
My PhD studied the role of ADAM33, an asthma susceptibility gene hypothesised to involved in inflammation and remodelling of the airway using a transgenic mouse model. Alongside this, I studied an in vivo model of allergic asthma using IL-13 transgenic mice and identified that it could be used to model mechanisms of neutrophilic inflammation that are corticosteroid insensitive, a hallmark of severe asthma.
I have since switched focus to pulmonary fibrosis, working first within Clinical Experimental Sciences, and now closely alongside them while working for Dr Wang in Biological Sciences.
