Biography

Louise studied Medicine and after graduating and completing pre-registration jobs she spent several years working as a clinical microbiologist in hospitals around the UK. During this time she also undertook laboratory-based research, working on projects ranging from virus survival in glycerol preserved cadaveric skin, to the relationship between pathogenicity and the flagellar proteins of Helicobacter pylori. Returning to the UK after a few years living in France, she became the UK study co-ordinator for a pan-European project investigating the impact of antibiotic-resistant S.aureus and E.coli bloodstream infections.

Louise joined the Centre of Evidence Based Dermatology as a Research Associate in November 2008, and is working on the Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) workstream of the NIHR funded programme, 'Setting Priorities and Reducing Uncertainties in People with Skin Disease'. She has undertaken a Cochrane systematic review of RCTs of treatments of SCC, and is currently working on a systematic review of observational studies of treatments and undertaking feasibility work which will guide the development of a proposal for a clinical trial of SCC treatment. She is also studying for a PhD.

Current Research

Treatment of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the skin, the second most common skin cancer . The project forms part of an NIHR-funded programme of work 'Setting Priorities and Reducing Uncertainties for the treatment and prevention of Skin Disease' [SPRUSD] awarded to Professor Hywel Williams in 2008.

Future Research

Development of a feasibility study and ultimately a clinical trial on the treatment of SCC of the skin. The research topic will be identified by prioritisation of research questions posed by clinicians, and review of the literature to highlight gaps in the current evidence base.
