James Baker is a Research Associate in respiratory medicine at the University of Manchester, focusing on iron metabolism and macrophage dysfunction in COPD pathogenesis. His research examines how red blood cell-derived iron contributes to pulmonary inflammation and infection susceptibility.
Education includes PhD research on iron's role in COPD pathophysiology (2022). Key findings demonstrate correlations between alveolar macrophage iron levels and red blood cell presence in COPD airways.
Publications explore therapeutic applications of gallium protoporphyrin against Haemophilus influenzae and dysregulation of iron-processing pathways in COPD. Research methodologies include sputum analysis, macrophage phenotyping, and bacterial challenge models.
