Alexandra Kendall

Alexandra Kendall, PhD, is a Research Fellow in the Department of Pharmacy at the University of Manchester. Her work contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to good health and well-being (SDG 3). She is affiliated with the Manchester Institute for Collaborative Research on Ageing, focusing on lipidomics and inflammatory resolution mechanisms.

Her research explores bioactive lipids' roles in skin barrier functionality, inflammation resolution pathways, and chronic disease mechanisms. Key areas include arachidonic acid cascade modeling, post-resolution immunity in pneumonia, and diurnal blood markers in asthma. She has contributed to datasets on macrophage behavior in pneumococcal infections and lipidomic profiling in pre-eclampsia risk assessment.

Notable contributions include:

• Development of in silico models for lipid signaling cascades
• Studies on skin lipid dynamics across health/disease states
• Identification of circadian biomarkers in respiratory conditions
• Investigations into hormone replacement therapy effects on skin aging

Her work bridges computational biology with experimental immunology, emphasizing translational applications in dermatology, respiratory medicine, and women's health.
