His research spans peripheral nerve repair, Schwann cell biology, and neuroregeneration, with a particular emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying nerve damage and recovery. He also explores translational approaches for cell and gene therapies in nerve repair and precision small molecule neuroablative treatments.
The 15 most recent publications reflect a consistent focus on Schwann cell dynamics, axon degeneration/regeneration, and epigenetic regulation. Key trends include the role of c-Jun in nerve repair, myelination mechanisms, and clinical studies on neurological complications of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and COVID-19.
Arthur-Farraj collaborates extensively across institutions, including University of Cambridge, Queen Mary University of London, and international partners like Hugo Cabedo (Universitat Miguel Hernández) and Robin JM Franklin (University of Cambridge). His work bridges basic science and clinical neurology, with a strong translational focus.
