معرفی
Dr. Owain Howell is an Associate Professor in Biomedical Sciences at Swansea University Medical School, part of Swansea University. His research focuses on neuroinflammation mechanisms in multiple sclerosis (MS), particularly meningeal inflammation's role in cortical pathology and clinical progression. He collaborates with institutions like Imperial College London and leads undergraduate neuroscience teaching.
Dr. Howell's work combines patient samples, cell cultures, and post-mortem brain tissue analysis to study MS pathogenesis. Key areas include complement pathway activation, cholesterol metabolism dysregulation, and biomarker identification for disease progression. He has supervised PhD projects on MS-related outcomes, biobanking, and digital pathology applications.
His research highlights compartmentalized inflammation, tertiary lymphoid structures, and the interplay between neurodegeneration and immune responses. Collaborations span neuropathology, lipidomics, and clinical neurology, with over 100 peer-reviewed publications in journals like Nature Reviews Neurology and Brain.
