Overview

My lab is mainly interested in the genetic and immune basis of diseases that present with severe skin inflammation. Some of these conditions (e.g. eczema) are common among children and have a very significant impact on their quality of life. Others are rare but can affect multiple organs (autoinflammatory syndromes) or become potentially life-threatening (generalized pustular psoriasis). We also study a rare form of heart inflammation known as recurrent pericarditis.

We use a variety of genetic and computational approaches to identify disease drivers and determine whether they can be blocked with existing drugs. Where some treatments are available, we seek to characterize the causes of incomplete efficacy and adverse events. Moving forward, we plan to investigate how skin color diversity influences disease mechanisms and response to treatment, to ensure that our discoveries benefit affected individuals, regardless of their ethnicity.

Research

Gene identification in severe skin inflammation
Common inflammatory skin disorders such as eczema have a profound impact on quality of life. Meanwhile, rare forms of psoriasis (e.g. generalised pustular psoriasis) are potentially life-threatening.
We have been investigating the causes of these conditions by combining genetic approaches (genome-wide association studies, whole-exome sequencing) with the in-vitro and ex-vivo characterization of disease alleles. This integrated strategy has been very productive. For example, it has enabled us to identify IL-36 as a key disease driver and therapeutic target in generalised pustular psoriasis.

Mechanisms underlying response to biologics
Biologics that target specific disease drivers have revolutionised the treatment of skin diseases such as psoriasis. However, significant variability in drug response is observed across individuals.
To better understand the mechanisms underlying drug-induced remission and relapse, we are using single-cell omics to investigate early response to biologics. We have recently identified a fibroblasts population that rapidly reduces in frequency after treatment of psoriasis with IL-23/IL-17 blockers. To build on this work, we are currently investigating the cell states mediating the effects of IL-4/IL-13 inhibitors in atopic dermatitis (eczema).

Genetic basis of idiopathic recurrent pericarditis
Pericarditis is a caused by inflammation of the pericardial sac surrounding the heart. It presents with severe chest pain and is associated with significant morbidity. While an involvement of innate immune responses has been hypothesised, the causes of recurrent pericarditis remain poorly understood.
We are using genetic approaches to address this research gap and better understand disease mechanisms. By combining whole exome sequencing and gene editing, we are characterising a novel genetic determinant of recurrent pericarditis. Moving forward, we plan to expand this programme by investigating larger patient cohorts.
