Rogan, Michael - University of Salford - Biomedical Research Centre

个人简介

I am currently Professor of Zoology in the School of Environment & Life Sciences and Academic Lead for undergraduate programmes in the general area of Biology, Zoology and Wildlife Conservation. This role involves managing the development, structure and delivery of 5 successful undergraduate programmes which are central to the School’s teaching portfolio. I have been at Salford since 1992 progressing from Lecturer in Biology to reader in Parasitology before obtaining my chair in 2010. Prior to that I was a post doctoral Research Associate in parasitology at the Liverpool School of Tropical (1989-1992) studying immunodiagnosis of hydatid disease in Kenya and China, and at the Department of Zoology, University of Nottingham (1986-1989), where I worked on a joint project with the Department of Surgery, on the development of labeled antibody probes for radio-imaging of hydatid cysts.

研究领域

My research for the last 30 years has been focused on the biology, immunology and epidemiology of tapeworm parasites (Cestodes) particularly Echinococcus, which are transmitted to humans as zoonotic infections. This has involved extensive fieldwork in East Africa, China and Kyrgyzstan correlating human and animal diagnostic surveys with disease prevalence and transmission and has enabled us to identify risk factors associated with potential infection. I am also interested in the interaction of the human immune system and hydatid cysts, which are the larval stages of the parasite. Recent work has enabled us to identify cytokine and antibody markers which can be used to monitor the natural history of parasite development and disease progression.
