Specializations
Infectious Diseases and Respiratory Infections
Work in infectious disease includes clinical research on COVID-19, acute respiratory tract infection, severe community-acquired pneumonia, and respiratory tract infection. The portfolio also extends to emerging viral threats such as mpox infection and prevention of monkeypox.
- COVID-19 and severe viral pneumonia
- Mpox infection and prevention
- Hospital-based respiratory infection care
Clinical activity is linked to University Hospital Galway in Galway, Ireland, with emphasis on treatment and prevention strategies for acute infectious illness.
Haematological Malignancies
Research involvement covers acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome.
- Acute leukaemias
- Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and lymphomas
- Myeloma and related plasma cell disorders
The therapeutic focus includes multiple myeloma, relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, high-risk monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, and smoldering multiple myeloma.
Solid Tumours and Oncology
Clinical trial activity spans breast cancer, ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, urothelial cancer, esophageal cancer, and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
- Breast and ovarian malignancies
- Lung, head and neck, and esophageal cancers
- Prostate, melanoma, and urothelial cancers
Interest also includes recurrent endometrial cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, and metastatic solid tumours across several advanced disease settings.
Immune-Mediated and Inflammatory Disorders
Research activity includes atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, polymyalgia rheumatica, and celiac disease. Additional work addresses IgA nephropathy and primary membranous nephropathy.
- Dermatologic immune disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Renal immune-mediated disorders
The therapeutic landscape also includes classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, reflecting broader interest in immune and endocrine overlap conditions.
Cardiometabolic and Endocrine Conditions
Clinical involvement extends to hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and non-obstructive coronary artery disease. The portfolio also includes familial chylomicronemia syndrome and HIV and obesity.
- Cardiovascular risk and hypertension
- Obesity and metabolic disease
- Familial lipid disorders
Additional interest is shown in vasomotor symptoms linked to adjuvant endocrine therapy in women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
