The Preston Lab is part of the Irish Centre for Vascular Biology and Department of Molecular and Cellular Therapeutics at Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), based at St Stephen’s Green, Dublin.

The research in our lab is focused on enhancing our understanding of coagulation factor biology and function, and using these insights to develop novel therapeutics for vascular dysfunction and inflammatory disease.

Roger Preston obtained his BSc. (Hons) in Molecular Biology from University of Aberdeen (2000), completed an MSc. in Bioengineering at the University of Strathclyde (2001), then attained his PhD at Imperial College London (2004). He has received several individual fellowship awards, including a Health Research Board Research Fellowship (2007), a Science Foundation Ireland Starting Investigator Research Grant (2009), and a Haematology Association of Ireland Scholar Award (2010). His research has been recognized by international research awards including the Novo Nordisk ‘Access-To-Insight’ Research Prize (2010), Bayer Hemophilia Award Program Early Career Investigator Award (2013), Daiichi-Sankyo Irish Heart Foundation Award (2015), and Bayer Hemophilia Special Project award (2016).

Dr Roger Preston and his research team (RCSI 2018)

He was appointed Assistant Professor in Immunology at Trinity College Dublin in 2012, then moved to the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 2016. At RCSI, he is a Lecturer in Vascular Biology in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Therapeutics. He was formerly the Scientific Secretary of the Haematology Association of Ireland (2015-2017) and currently serves on the Editorial Board of Seminars in Thrombosis and Haemostasis (2015-present) and Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis (2016-present).

Engineered recombinant activated protein C as a novel therapeutic agent for children with inflammatory bowel disease

The number of children with paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) in Ireland has surged in the last 15 years. Current treatments for children with IBD are often ineffective so new approaches that expand the repertoire of efficacious treatments for PIBD are required. In this study, we will assess whether children with IBD attending OLCHC for treatment exhibit impaired anticoagulant and anti-inflamamtory pathway activity in their intestinal lining compared to healthy children. These studies will shed new light on the role of the PC pathway in regulating IBD development in children.

Novel therapeutic approach to counter vaso-occlusive crisis in sickle cell disease using engineered activated protein C

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a significant cause of global paediatric illness and death. SCD causes red blood cells to bind to other blood cells and block blood vessels, which can cause painful sickle cell ‘crises’ and stroke to occur. There are only a limited number of therapies currently available to treat SCD. The objective of this study is to evaluate the role of activated protein C (APC), a blood protein with anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory activity, in controlling SCD, with a view to utilising engineered activated protein C variants as potential therapies for the treatment of SCD-associated blood vessel damage. This study will utilise the newly-established biobank of paediatric SCD blood samples collected as part of the Sickle Vascular Ireland Consortium (SiVIC) study to investigate the role of defective protein C pathway activity in SCD-associated vascular inflammation and occlusion. Specifically, we propose to determine whether the protein C pathway is impaired in individuals with SCD at different disease stages and treatment and investigate whether activated protein C has the potential to mitigate the key molecular events that contribute to SCD blood vessel dysfunction, such as inflammation, blood cell binding to sticky blood vessels and uncontrolled blood coagulation. SCD is a significant cause of global paediatric illness and death. Children with SCD are subject to painful crises, anaemia and stroke. Unfortunately, there is a limited understanding of the molecular events that lead to blood vessel occlusions that contribute to crises and therefore a limited number of effective SCD therapies. This study aims to test new therapeutic approaches to reduce the painful symptoms of SCD and meet the urgent, unmet need for novel therapies to enhance care of children with SCD.
