Biography

Dr Paddy Tighe is Associate Professor of Immunology within the School of Life Sciences, The University of Nottingham.  Dr Tighes laboratory studies dysregulated immune function and biomarkers associated with a range of chronic diseases with immune system involvement focusing on the orphan autoinflammatory syndromes, and TNF-receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) in particular.  We were first to report the ligand-independent signaling processes triggered by intracellular accumulation of mutant TNFR1 in TRAPS and our MRC –funded development of high-throughput, high-content  methods for intracellular signalling analysis has provided insight into the underlying mechanisms and potential targets for novel therapeutic agents for TRAPS. Current interests are comprehensive mapping of the TRAPS-associated inflammatory phenotype for improved diagnostics and identification of novel therapeutics and associated research into drug-repurposing for TRAPS treatment.
