Dr Michael Fricker

Biography

I am a post-doctoral research fellow within the Centre of Excellence for Severe Asthma based at the HMRI. My work focuses on discovering and validating novel cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease and biomarkers in asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). I completed my PhD in cellular neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, UK, in 2008 and subsequently held post-doctoral positions at the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research, Glasgow, UK and at the University of Cambridge. In 2012 I changed fields to study respiratory disease, and have applied my expertise in basic inflammatory and cell signaling processes to develop novel insights into chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD.
