معرفی
David Fawkner-Corbett is an NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer in Paediatric Surgery at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences and Wolfson College. His research bridges clinical practice and advanced multi-omic techniques to study intestinal inflammation and developmental disorders.
- Education: MBChB, MPhil, MRCS, PgDip, DPhil
Research Interests: His work focuses on understanding epithelial barrier breakdown in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) using single-cell RNA-sequencing to identify molecular drivers and novel therapeutic targets. He also investigates postnatal intestinal maturation, aiming to address rare developmental disorders like Necrotising Enterocolitis and Hirschsprung's disease.
Publication Trends: Recent articles span developmental biology, immunology, and pediatric surgery, with high-impact studies in Cell, Nature, and Nature Immunology. Key themes include intestinal cell diversity, stromal-epithelial interactions, and translational approaches for IBD and congenital anomalies.
- Scientific Awards:
- Oxford NIHR-BRC clinical research fellowship
- Joint British Association of Paediatric Surgeons-Royal College of Surgeons of England research fellowship
- Wellcome Doctoral (DPhil) training fellowship
- NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow (ACF) in Oxford
Collaborations: His work involves international partnerships (Brazil, Australia, USA) and multidisciplinary teams integrating clinical insights with cutting-edge genomic technologies.
