Séamus Hussey

Principal Investigator and Consultant Gastroenterologist

A graduate of UCC, Prof Hussey initially trained at Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin (formerly Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin), before completing a fellowship in academic paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition at the Hospital for Sick Children (Sickkids), Toronto, Canada.

His research fellowship was in cell biology and immunology at the University of Toronto, focusing on the role of autophagy in bacterial infections, including Helicobacter pylori, and in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. He was appointed as a consultant gastroenterologist at Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin, in 2010, a senior lecturer at the RCSI in 2016, and associate clinical professor at UCD & RCSI in 2016.

Professor Hussey leads the DOCHAS research programme, which has been funded by, and based at, the NCRC since its inception. DOCHAS, the Irish word for hope, is Ireland’s first prospective study of paediatric inflammatory bowel diseases. This research platform enables clinical and translational research into the causes and outcomes of paediatric IBD. Since its launch in 2012, DOCHAS has enabled development of successful collaborations with local, national and international clinicians and scientists. Currently there are over 10 active clinical and translational research projects that have evolved from DOCHAS.

Dr. Sarah Cooper
Position: Clinical Research Coordinator

Role:
Sarah coordinates our clinical research studies including recruitment and follow up of patients, liaises with PIs and collaborators and oversees the work of our research assistants.

Determinants and Outcomes in Children and Adolescents with IBD (DOCHAS)

A prospective translational research study of the causes and outcomes of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease in Ireland. Patients are followed from the time of referral throughout their patient journey. Information regarding their disease subtype, their treatment and their clinical outcomes over time is recorded. Biological samples (taken pre-treatment) are vital for the translational studies that stem from DOCHAS.

Paediatric Cancer and Mortality Study

This is a prospective European study of the incidence of deaths and malignancies in patients up to age 26 years who were diagnosed with IBD before age 18 years.

Allergy in IBD study

This project stems from the DOCHAS study, and will ascertain the prevalence of food related allergies in patients with IBD.

Oral microbiome in IBD

This study looks for clues to the causes and outcomes of IBD by looking for changes in the oral microbial flora before and following treatments in patients with IBD.

The role of IL-36a in Ulcerative Colitis

This is a collaborative study, led by Dr Patrick Walsh, which seeks to elucidate the role of the IL-36 protein family in the cause and outcome of ulcerative colitis.

Role of Nox4 in Crohn disease

This is a collaborative study with Profs Ulla Knaus and Billy Bourke that seeks to explore the potential role of Nox4 in fibrostenotic Crohn disease.

ASC Study

This is a collaborative study investigating whether Infliximab has changed the national history of Acute Severe Colitis.

DIETOMICS CD (M-EEN) Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether induction and maintenance of remission in Crohn’s Disease can be achieved with a new dietary strategy that involves only 2 weeks of Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (EEN) with Modulen and 12 weeks of an exclusion diet involving selected table foods. This novel approach will be compared to the gold standard dietary regime involving 8 weeks of EEN.

Infliximab Outcomes in Paediatric IBD

This project stems from the DOCHAS study and looks at outcomes, including remission, required interventions and infliximab failure, in standard vs escalated infliximab induction regimens.

Coagulation Pathways in IBD

It is known that patients with IBD are at increased risk of thrombotic events. This collaborative study, led by Dr. Roger Preston, probes for potential differences in coagulation pathways in patients with IBD vs control patients.
