Biography

Lisa Willcocks specializes in treating patients with autoimmune diseases at the Vasculitis Lupus Clinic in the Cambridge Immunology Network. Her expertise includes several conditions characterized by an overactive immune system, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), as well as rare autoimmune diseases such as Wegener’s granulomatosis, Churg-Strauss angiitis, and Takayasu’s arteritis. She has made significant contributions to the understanding of immune dysfunction in these diseases, with a focus on immunopathology and the genetic elements that influence the pathogenesis of ANCA-associated vasculitis. Willcocks has co-authored numerous influential publications examining the impact of immune responses on disease outcomes and has explored how specific genetic variations can modulate susceptibility to these disorders. Her research integrates clinical practice with laboratory investigations to improve patient care in this complex field.
