Since joining Sheffield Hallam, Louise has been appointed to the role of International Lead for the Department of Biosciences and Chemistry. She teaches clinical pharmacology and is actively involved in microbiological research within the Biomolecular Research Centre.
About
As the International Lead, Louise is responsible for liaising with our SHU International Offices about the recruitment of international students and the development of our Trans National Education programs and collaborations with universities worldwide.
Louise is also the Collaborative Course Leader for the MSc Medical Device Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs delivered in partnership with NSF Health Sciences.
Teaching
Louise teaches clinical pharmacology, prescribing and pharmaceutical drug development on a variety of different courses within the Departments of Biosciences and Chemistry and Nursing and Midwifery.
Research
Louise is investigating the antimicrobial properties of dressings used to treat infected wounds. Working with colleagues in the Biomolecular Research Centre and the Materials Engineering Research Institute she has helped develop a new material that can deliver a sustained release of an antimicrobial agent. This has the potential to provide a significant improvement in wound healing since this would minimise the number of treatments required, speeding up the healing process and reducing inconvenience to the patient.
