Professor of Paediatric Infection
University of Liverpool, United Kingdom
Professor Enitan Carrol MBChB, MD, FRCPCH, is a Professor of Paediatric Infection at the University of Liverpool, England, and Honorary Consultant in Paediatric Infectious Diseases, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Liverpool. Her research interests include bacterial infections in children, biomarker diagnostic accuracy studies, and early warning scores for early recognition of deterioration. She has over 25 years’ experience of clinical research in hospitalised children with infections, both in the UK and in Malawi. Her research spans the full translational spectrum from -omics to implementation, yet is patient-centred and fully embedded in daily NHS practice. She has both led, and been a co-investigator on randomised controlled trials of biomarkers to guide antimicrobial decisions in adults and children. She promotes clinical excellence through research, evidence-based practice, teaching, audit and quality improvement, and seeks to model diversity, inclusivity and equity in clinical academia. She is currently funded by NIHR and H2020. In March 2022, she was appointed as an NIHR Senior Investigator.
