Jing joined University of Bradford, School of Management, which is now part of the Faculty of Management, Law and Social Sciences, as a Lecturer in Accounting in 2008, and is now Reader in Accounting. Jing’s research interest mainly lies in reporting activities of companies, the driving force behind such activities and their impact. During the years of working at the School, Jing has been entrusted with various academic leadership roles, including Director of Studies for Accounting & Finance programme, Deputy Head for Accounting, Finance and Economics Division, Impact Champion, and Associate Dean – Research & Knowledge Transfer (ADRKT) from June 2018. As the ADRKT for the faculty, Jing provides leadership on RKT strategy and provides support to staff on RKT initiatives and activities to develop and enhance our RKT portfolio and encourage interdisciplinary research. Jing serves on various university and faculty committees and is also responsible for the co-ordination for UoA C17 Business and Management Studies’ REF submission in 2021, as well as supporting the REF co-ordinators with the submissions for UoAs A4 and C19 alongside the Head of School.

Dr Jacobo Elíes is Lecturer in Pharmacology at the University of Bradford. He studied Pharmacy and then undertook a PhD in Pharmacology at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). In 2009, Dr Elies moved to the University of Leeds to join Professor Chris Peers’ group at the Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine as a postdoctoral researcher. Across two postdoctoral appointments, he studied the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of cardiovascular diseases associated with skin diseases, by investigating the regulation of ion channels by gasotransmitters. In 2015, Dr Elies was awarded a Wellcome Trust ISSF Junior Investigator Development Fellowship at the University of Leeds to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in cellular communication between different dermal cell types and how dysregulation of their functions can affect the skin microvasculature. Since then, he has continued to explore the origin of dermal endothelial dysfunction in skin autoimmune diseases such as Systemic Sclerosis, Lupus erythematosus and Psoriasis. Current projects are focused on: in vitro organotypic co-cultures for the study of skin blood vessel formation, hypoxia, oxidative stress and calcium handling in dermal microvasculature. His main interest resides in cellular communication between mesenchymal and endothelial cells and how dysregulation of integumentary system can affect the microvasculature.
