Dr Gail Haddock BSc, PhD, FHEA
Senior Lecturer
Summary
I was appointed as a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University after completing a PhD, followed by a 5-year postdoctoral position in neuroscience at Sheffield Hallam University. I teach a wide range of subjects including anatomy and physiology, cell biology and biochemistry. My main research area is neuroimmunology with a specific interest in multiple sclerosis.
About
I was appointed initially at Sheffield Hallam University as a research technician, during which time I studied for a PhD part time. I then worked as a postdoctoral researcher for 5 years. My work was investigating the role of the ADAMTSs in multiple sclerosis from which I published several research papers and presented my work at national and international conferences. I was then appointed a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University.

Research
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory, neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) affecting mainly white matter. Key events in the pathogenesis of MS include breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, resulting in infiltration of inflammatory cells leading (directly or indirectly) to changes in the composition of the ECM. The extracellular matrix proteins are important to brain structure through maintenance of the correct hydrodynamics and in their interactions with other ECM components.The sequence of events leading to changes in the ECM of white matter in MS are not known, nor are the enzymes that are responsible for these processes which ultimately lead to axonal loss. Alterations in turnover of the ECM contribute to disease processes and are modulated by injury. ADAMTS-1, -4 and -5 have been shown to cleave aggregating chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPGs) such as aggrecan, versican and brevican which are key components of CNS ECM. We wish to investigate the roles played in this process by the ADAMTS group.
