Englyst, Nicola - University of Southampton

个人简介

Dr Englyst graduated with a BSc (Hons) and a PhD from the University of Aberdeen before moving to Cambridge to complete her first postdoctoral research position. She then moved to the University of Southampton in 1999 where she was subsequently awarded a University Career Track Fellowship followed by a Fellowship from Research into Ageing and a National Endowments for Science, Technology and the Arts CRUCIBLE Fellowship. Dr Englyst was appointed as Lecturer in Physiology in 2007 to a post that combines research with teaching, as Coordinator for the Endocrinology and Life Cycle module and Semester 4 Coordinator for BM5 teaching. In 2015, Nicola was appointed as Associate Professor within the Faculty of Medicine. She is also now Programme Leader for the MSc Diabetes Best Practice, a newly developed programme to improve patient care in diabetes. Dr Englyst’s research interests are based around coagulation, in a translational approach ranging from what happens at the molecular and cellular level through to what happens in the patient. In particular, Dr Englyst researches interactions between coagulation, inflammation, endothelial cells and platelets. These interlinked areas are particularly important in vascular disease and Dr Englyst has a strong interest in the effects of infection and inflammation in ischemic stroke, since patients who have an infection just after a stroke have a worse prognosis. More recently, Dr Englyst has expanded these interests to explore the role of cellular microvesicles in health and disease. Microvesicles Facebook Dr Englyst is the Lead for the Faculty of Medicine Mentoring Scheme which provides a mentoring service for all staff. As well as maintaining a database of mentors, Dr Englyst organises mentoring workshops and training for both mentors and mentees. Dr Englyst has been involved with the Faculty of Medicine’s Postdoctoral Association since its inception, and currently serves on the committee. She is the Chair of the Postdoctoral Mentoring Scheme which provides a mentoring service for all research staff. As well as maintaining a database of mentors, Dr Englyst organises mentoring workshops and training for both mentors and mentees. Dr Englyst is also the Pastoral Tutor for the MSc in Allergy and the MSc in Public Health Nutrition at the University of Southampton.

研究领域

The primary focus of Dr Englyst’s research is the interaction between coagulation, inflammation and the endothelium. These interactions may be important in health, the natural processes of ageing and a variety of diseases including stroke and cardiovascular disease. Dr Englyst is also committed to improving medical education in the University of Southampton and has several ongoing research projects in the education field.
