Research

Research Interests:

Professor Lindsay serves on the BSG IBD Clinical Trials Steering Group and is Chief Investigator for a series of investigator-led and commercial clinical trials in IBD. He leads the NIHR funded ASTIClite trial which will assess the efficacy, safety and mechanism of action of low intensity autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with refractory Crohn’s disease. In addition, he jointly supervises two translational research programmes: one focusing on antigen presentation and cell trafficking within the mucosal immune system (in collaboration with Dr Andy Stagg), and the other studying the role of microRNA profiles to direct phenotype in IBD (in collaboration with Prof Andy Silver).
