The NCRC AD case collection is one of the largest in the world, and has been used for identification of many genes involved in AD pathogenesis, including the filaggrin discovery.
Alan IrvineConsultant Dermatologist, Professor
Alan graduated in Medicine from Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) in 1991. In 1998, he was awarded a research doctorate (MD) in Human Genetics, also from QUB. He completed Dermatology Training in Belfast in July 1999, followed by fellowships in Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Memorial Hospital Chicago, where he was a Fulbright Scholar.
He was appointed Consultant Dermatologist (Attending Physician) in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital and St. James’s Hospital, Dublin, Ireland in October 2002. The OLCHC department provides specialist clinics in severe atopic dermatitis, vascular malformations, laser treatments, and genetic skin diseases with more than 10 000 secondary and tertiary paediatric attendances per annum. His adult clinics provide a service for complex atopic dermatitis and genodermatoses.
He is Professor in Dermatology, Trinity College Dublin. His research interests are in epithelial genetics, disease mechanisms in, and therapy of, atopic dermatitis. His work on the genetics of atopic dermatitis with long term collaborative partner Irwin McLean has helped refocus attention on the role of the skin barrier in the pathogenesis of this disease and of allergic disease in general. He is funded by the National Children’s Research Centre and the Wellcome Trust, and has attracted approximately €11M funding to date.
Alan IrvineConsultant Dermatologist, Professor
Role:
Janna is an experienced epithelial biologist with expertise in skin equivalent cultures and genetic analysis of skin disease. Her work currently involves using skin equivalents to study skin barrier function in atopic dermatitis. Janna also is running projects studying the role of miRNA in Atopic Dermatitis
Dr. Maeve McAleer
Position: Consultant Dermatologist
Role:
Maeve is a consultant dermatologist who has recently completed her PhD on skin barrier function in Atopic Dermatitis at NCRC.
Dr Veronika Dvorakova
Position: Clinical Fellow/MD student
Role:
Veronika is studying the genetic basis and therapeutic approaches to vascular anomalies and overgrowth syndromes
Angela Scullion
Position: Senior Clinical Trials Research Co-Ordinator
Angela.scullion@ncrc.ie
Role:
Angela is Senior Research Co-Ordinator within the Children’s Clinical Research Unit on the campus of Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin, focussing on paediatric clinical trials in Dermatology, Allergy and Cardiology.
The NCRC AD case collection is one of the largest in the world, and has been used for identification of many genes involved in AD pathogenesis, including the filaggrin discovery.
We have long standing research programs examining skin barrier function in atopic dermatitis. We use non-invasive techniques such as Raman spectroscopy and tape stripping to gain mechanistic and functional insights into AD pathogenesis.
We provide care for a large cohort of patients with vascular anomalies and overgrowth syndromes. We collaborate with investigators in Belgium on gene identification and with companies developing novel therapies.
For the last two decades we have worked on identification of causal genetic mutations in children with genetic skin disorders.
