Research groups
Any research groups you belong to will automatically appear on your profile. Speak to your line manager if these are incorrect. Please do not raise a ticket in Ask HR.
Research interests
Add up to 5 research interests. The first 3 will appear in your staff profile next to your name. The full list will appear on your research page. Keep these brief and focus on the keywords people may use when searching for your work. Use a different line for each one.
In Pure (opens in a new tab), select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading 'Curriculum and research description', select 'Add profile information'. In the dropdown menu, select 'Research interests: use separate lines'.
Current research
Update this in Pure (opens in a new tab). Select ‘Edit profile’ and then ‘Curriculum and research description - Current research’.
Describe your current research in 100 to 200 words. Write in the third person. Include broad key terms to help people discover your work, for example, “sustainability” or “fashion textiles”.
Research projects
Research Council funded projects will automatically appear here. The active project name is taken from the finance system.
Publications
Public outputs that list you as an author will appear here, once they’re validated by the ePrints Team. If you’re missing any outputs that you’ve added to Pure, they may be waiting for validation.
Supervision
Current PhD Students
Contact your Faculty Operating Service team to update PhD students you supervise and any you’ve previously supervised. Making this information available will help potential PhD applicants to find you.
Teaching
A short description of your teaching interests and responsibilities.
This section will only display on your public profile if you’ve added content.
You can update your teaching description in Pure (opens in a new tab). Select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading and then ‘Curriculum and research description’ , select ‘Add profile information’.

Biography
Dr Emily Swindle is an Associate Professor in Pharmacology within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton, UK.
She gained her PhD in Immunopharmacology from the University of Liverpool in 2003 under the supervision of Dr John Coleman studying the mechanisms of IgE-mediated mast cell (MC) activation. She then moved to the USA to undertake a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the supervision of Dr Dean Metcalfe (MCBS, NIAID) to expand her studies of MC activation in allergic asthma and investigate MC responses to innate stimuli. On returning to the UK, she continued her interest in respiratory diseases undertaking research with Prof Donna Davies and Prof Hywel Morgan (IfLS) on an interdisciplinary project monitoring the epithelial barrier by electrical impedance spectroscopy using a novel microphysiological system (MPS). In 2010, Emily was awarded a career track fellowship by the Faculty of Medicine to investigate the interaction of MCs with bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) in viral-induced exacerbations of asthma. In 2013, she was appointed a Lecturer in Pharmacology and in 2018 an Associate Professor in Pharmacology. Her research focuses on building complex in vitro models of the airway incorporating structural cells (epithelial cells) and immune cells (mast cells) to understand their contribution to viral-induced exacerbations of asthma. She is a mast cell and epithelial cell biologist by training and has worked in the interdisciplinary lung-on-chip field for over 10 years working closely with physical scientists who have developed the technology.
