Steven edwards

Biography

 Steve Edwards obtained his BSc and PhD at the University of Wales, Cardiff and spent periods of research in Brussels, Philadelphia, Cardiff and UMIST before moving to Liverpool. His research focuses on the control of neutrophil function in infections and inflammatory diseases, and uses a variety of molecular, physiological and biochemical approaches to understand how these cells are switched on and off in human disease.

Research Interest

 Regulation of function of blood phagocytes during infections; cancer cell killing; inflammatory disease, especially rheumatoid arthritis; cytokine regulated processes; role of gene expression in rescue of neutrophils from apoptosis; molecular processes that up- or down-regulate phagocyte function and identification of new targets for the design of novel pro or anti-inflammatory agents.
