My research interests centre on understanding the processes related to dysregulated tissue repair and fibrosis. This has included examining the link between fibrosis and various cell types and molecular mechanisms such as macrophages, mechanical stress driven responses, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition.

I have been studying scleroderma pathogenesis since my Arthritis Research UK-funded PhD project on the role of CTGF in the disease, which was conducted at UCL under the guidance of Prof David Abraham and Prof Jill Norman, who are leaders in fibroblast biology and renal fibrosis. After that, I was awarded a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship to work at Keio University, Japan to investigate macrophage polarisation in a model of scleroderma pathogenesis.
