Background

Introduction


I am a respiratory specialty registrar doctor and graduate of Newcastle University medical school currently undertaking doctoral research into alveolar macrophage function, including the effects of ageing and critical illness, and contributing to other work on innate immunity. Our research includes the administration of novel therapeutic interventions with the aims of obtaining mechanistic and clinical data that could potentially inform future studies on pneumonia prevention, treatment and antimicrobial stewardship. I work as part of the PRINCIPLE group (Paediatric, Respiratory and INtensive Care Immunity and PuLmonary Epithelium group).
