Biography

Lyn Ferguson trained in medicine at the University of Glasgow (MBChB Hons. 2010), with an intercalated BSc (MedSci) (first class Hons.) in Anatomy.  She undertook academic core medical training in the West of Scotland and obtained membership of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (MRCP(Glasg)), before commencing specialty training in Chemical Pathology and Metabolic Medicine. She is a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists (FRCPath).

During her higher specialist training, she undertook a Clinical Research Fellowship, funded by the BHF Centre of Excellence at the University of Glasgow, and is co-investigator of the Immune Metabolic Associations in Psoriatic Arthritis (IMAPA) study. She was awarded her PhD in 2020, entitled 'Cardiometabolic comorbidities in psoriatic disease and modulation by phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4 inhibition'. She was awarded the Royal College of Pathologists Research Medal in Chemical Pathology and Metabolic Medicine for work related to this.

She is now a Consultant and Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer in Metabolic Medicine in the School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health, University of Glasgow.

Research interests

1 - Clinical Studies - IMAPA Study

Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are chronic inflammatory diseases of the skin and joints, which are also associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Obesity is a frequent comorbidity in psoriatic disease and is increasingly implicated in its pathogenesis, disease severity, and response to treatment. The medication apremilast, a phosphodiesterase (PDE)4 inhibitor, has been shown to improve psoriatic disease, as well as being associated with weight loss.  The Immune Metabolic Associations in Psoriatic Arthritis (IMAPA) study aimed to evaluate the effects of PDE4 inhibition on metabolic, vascular, and immune status in psoriatic disease.

2 - Epidemiological studies - UK Biobank

In collaboration with colleagues from the Institute of Health and Wellbeing, research focuses on the causes, prevention, and management of diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and chronic rheumatic diseases using the UK Biobank. This is a prospective, population cohort study of 500,000 participants designed to determine lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors that predispose to adult chronic diseases.
