Douglas Fraser-Pitt

Douglas Fraser-Pitt is Senior Lecturer in Infectious Diseases at Keele University's School of Life Sciences. His research examines innate immunity to respiratory pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, and immunometabolic approaches to infection control.

Key research areas:

• Host-pathogen interactions in respiratory infections
• Cysteamine-based therapies for cystic fibrosis exacerbations
• Antimicrobial resistance and novel therapeutic strategies
• Immunometabolism in infection susceptibility

His work bridges basic science and clinical applications, with expertise in bacterial pathogenesis, anti-infective development, and clinical trial design.
