Staff Profile
Dr Iram Haq
Senior Clinical Fellow and Honorary Consultant Paediatric Respiratory Medicine
- Address: Translational and Clinical Research Institute
Faculty of Medical Sciences
缅北禁地
I am an NHIP Senior Clinical Fellow and Honorary Consultant based in the Translational and Clinical Research Institute at 缅北禁地 within the Immunity and Inflammation theme. Clinically I work as a consultant in Paediatric Respiratory Medicine at the Great North Children's Hospital and the Freeman Hospital in 缅北禁地 upon Tyne where I work within the regional Paediatric Cystic Fibrosis and Sleep Services. I also have a general respiratory clinic where I see patients with a range of respiratory conditons.
My academic interests involve research investigating abnormal airway epithelial physiology in children who have chronic respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis.

I am an NIHR ACL in Paediatric Respiratory Medicine and my research interests in cystic fibrosis and the development of relevant airway models to investigate the impact of dysfunctional airway epithelial ion transport and physiology in the cystic fibrosis airway.
During my Wellcome Trust funded Clinical Research Training Fellowship I investigated the role of the alternative chloride channel, TMEM16A, as a therapeutic target for cystic fibrosis. During this PhD, I utilised differentiated primary airway epithelial cell culture models derived from children and applied these models to investigate ion transport using electrophysiological techniques. Since my PhD, I have been able to further my research within this field to further investigate abnormal ion transport processes in individuals with cystic fibrosis and how these vary within the nasal and bronchial airways. I was awarded an Academy of Medical Sciences Starter Grant during my NIHR Clinical Lectureship to continue this work.

In my clinical work, I am involved in teaching medical students and doctors in aspects of paediatrics and paediatric respiratory medicine. I am also a certified ALSG Newborn Life Support Instructor.
I have supervised students within the university including during summer studentships, undergraduate and postgraduate projects.
I am actively involved in structured teaching specifically with the undergraduate Biomedical Sciences and Physiology degree programmes.
I am also a personal tutor for the Masters of Clinical Research Programme.
