Clinical Senior Lecturer in Paediatric Asthma and Chronic Airways Diseases
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the National Heart and Lung Institute’s Inflammation, Repair & Development Section in combination with West London Children’s Healthcare for a Clinical Senior Lecturer in Paediatric Asthma and Chronic Airways Diseases.
The post is 50:50 research and clinical, the latter at Chelsea & Westminster & Royal Brompton Hospitals. The post-holder will develop a research programme aligned with one or more areas of focus of the Paediatric Severe Asthma research group led by Prof Sejal Saglani: (a) lower airway immune, infection and remodelling phenotyping in children with chronic airways diseases, (b) developing objective biomarkers for targeted treatment chronic airways diseases (c) clinical and mechanistic trials of novel therapeutics in severe asthma and preschool wheeze (d) experimental models to investigate onset of preschool wheeze and progression to asthma. The post-holder will secure further grant funding whilst contributing to teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Royal Brompton Hospital is a leading, tertiary paediatric severe asthma centre, leading in the national framework of the diagnosis and management of problematic severe asthma. Research is integral to excellent clinical care and is delivered through a multidisciplinary model with close collaboration between the clinical teams at the hospital and laboratory staff at South Kensington Campus.
Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, part of West London Children’s Healthcare, delivers a respiratory service together with the Royal Brompton Hospital. A key component of this new post is to increase research activity in chronic airways diseases at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, with the exciting scope of including patients presenting to the Emergency Department, those with prematurity associated chronic lung diseases and those with less severe asthma.
