Dr Louise Judd is co-leader of the Gastrointestinal Research in Inflammation and Pathology lab (GRIP) with Professor Andy Giraud. Together, they focus on the consequences of chronic inflammation of the gut which results in diseases including gastric cancer, peptic ulcer disease, eosinophilic oesophagitis, inflammatory bowel disease and Barrett's oesophagitis. Their expertise lies in generating models of disease to examine the etiology and consequences of chronic inflammation of the gut. Dr Judd has undergraduate degrees in immunology, pathology and genetics and a PhD in immune and autoimmune responses in the stomach, including characterisation of the pathological response of the stomach to inflammation. She completed postdoctoral studies in the USA on the physiology of ion transport in the gut and kidney.
