Biography

Lorraine Work graduated from the University of Strathclyde with a 1st class BSc (Hons) in Immunology & Pharmacology in 1995 and went on to study for a PhD investigating anti-proliferative agents for therapy in in vitro and in vivo models of vascular injury, graduating in 1999. Following a brief period spent at the University of Washington, Seattle, Dr Lorraine Work joined the Division of Cardiovascular and Medical Science, University of Glasgow in 2000 as a post-doctoral researcher in Professor A. Baker’s research group. In so doing she moved from pharmacological interventions to gene-based approaches - specifically, identifying novel targets which could be used to direct therapy to the vasculature (smooth muscle cells and organ specific endothelial beds). Lorraine was awarded a BHF Intermediate Research Fellowship in 2006 to study a combination of pharmacological and gene-based therapies in stroke. In 2007, Dr Work was appointed lecturer through the BBSRC Capacity Building awards in Integrative Mammalian Biology and so central to her research is the translation of knowledge gained from single molecules back to the whole organism, including in vivo studies. In 2015 Lorraine was promoted to Senior Lecturer and then to Reader in 2019.

Lorraine is Athena Swan Champion for SCMH and represents the school on the College EDI committee. She served on the Athena Swan self-assessment team for several years before becoming chair in 2021. Her support for early career researchers and women in science was recognised by a research culture award (2021)

Professor Lorraine Work - Good Practice in Research Culture

Lorraine also dedicates much of her time to public engagement and outreach activities to communicate the ongoing research interests of her group to the general public and to promote science in schools. Through a collaboration with Dr Lizzie Burns and Professor Stuart Allan (University of Manchester) a series of “build-a-brain” workshops were held in schools across Glasgow. This, alongside a “Brain Health Awareness Day” led to the team being awarded an ICCA Incredible Impacts Award.

Working alongside Professors Jason Gill and Godfrey Smith, a new “Have a Heart” workshop has been developed in SCMH and will be delivered to schools as part of an ongoing program of science promotion. In addition, Lorraine has spoken at Pint of Science (2022) and often takes part in tours of supporters of charities which fund her work, such as the British Heart Foundation. Her commitment to engagement activities was recognised in Lorraine being “Highly Commended” researcher in the MVLS Engagement Awards (2022)

Research interests

Research Theme: Vascular Diseases and Comorbidities

Lorraine’s research interest lies in targeting multiple pathways through both combining gene and drug intervention strategies or using microRNAs in an attempt to reduce infarct volume and improve neurological recovery following experimental stroke. She collaborates closely with clinical colleagues to ensure a good bench to bedside to bench iterative research program.

Increasingly, Dr Work is interested in exploiting endogenous signalling particles, extracellular vesicles as a means of delivery. These small particles carry cargo around the body in health and disease and determining their contents serve both as a potential biomarker but also as a novel therapeutic. Other interests include determining the effect of stabilisation of mitochondrial function on outcome following stroke and how endogenous mitochondrial turnover processes are altered with ischaemic injury and targeting mitochondria therapeutically. Oedema is a contributory pathological mechanism early after ischaemic stroke and collaborative studies are determining if targeting oedema while promoting neuronal plasticity will be more beneficial that targeting each pathway alone. She also has ongoing projects determining the peripheral effects of cerebral ischaemic injury. Her experimental stroke studies consider the impact of intervention on measures of cognition given the key link between stroke and dementia.

Although stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide there is, currently, only two clinically approved interventions both of which promote reperfusion. In determining the relative contribution of the underlying signalling pathways to infarct size and consequent neurological recovery the Work group hope to identify novel therapeutic approaches. Furthermore, many target microRNAs may be involved in promoting endogenous repair allowing delayed delivery thus promoting clinical translation. The research group use in vitro methods to determine efficacy prior to in vivo application in a model of transient cerebral ischaemia.

Teaching

Lorraine successfully completed her PG Cert in Academic Practice becoming a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2009. Currently, she lectures for the MSc Cardiovascular Sciences, MRes/MSc in Biomedical Sciences and to levels 3 and 4 for the Pharmacology, Neuroscience and Human Biology degrees. Dr Work leads the Clinical Neuroscience specialisation of the BMed Sci intercalated degree for medical students. Lorraine is an advisor of studies for undergraduate and postgraduate students. She has previously facilitated PBL sessions for undergraduate medical students (years 1 and/or year 2) as well as being a tutor for L3 Pharmacology for many years.

A significant portion of Lorraine’s teaching time is spent on project supervision and assessment for wet laboratory-based projects for L4 students (Pharmacology, Neuroscience), intercalating BMed Sci students and MRes/MSc students (IMB/Systems Biology and Clinical Pharmacology). Further in assessment of the research project write up/students laboratory performance, the oral "viva" style exam and assessing the oral presentations.

Dr Work is co-director of the flagship BHF 4 year PhD program (since 2021). In the MRes year, this includes feedback meetings to discuss project selection and progress; assessment of journal club presentations, review articles and the grant proposal; assessment of project report write up, oral presentations (start and end of each rotation project).
