Scholar-generated biography
Jane A Mitchell is a pharmacologist at Imperial College London, specializing in the study of COX-2, nitric oxide, prostacyclin, and aspirin. Her research explores the pharmacological mechanisms of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), particularly their selectivity for cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2, and their implications for gastrointestinal toxicity. She investigates the roles of inducible isoforms of cyclooxygenase and nitric oxide synthase in inflammation and their interactions with prostanoids. Her work also examines the physiological and clinical relevance of cyclooxygenases in inflammation, as well as the impact of reactive oxygen species and endothelial-derived factors in conditions such as acute lung injury and hemorrhagic shock.
