Profile of:

Deepak Jadon


I am a consultant rheumatologist, Director of the Rheumatology Research Unit, lead for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and co-lead for axSpA at Cambridge University Hospitals. Having grown up in Cardiff, I graduated from the University of Wales College of Medicine in 2003, and then undertook clinical training in rheumatology and general internal medicine in Bath and Bristol between 2007 - 2015. I completed my PhD thesis on ‘biomarkers of psoriatic arthritis phenotypes’ at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases (Bath, UK) in 2015. I have particular expertise in the investigation and management of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I am qualified in the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound to improve diagnostic accuracy and assessment of disease activity. My research interests include genetic and serum biomarkers of PsA, AS and SpA, in particular those that predict prognosis and developing psoriatic spondyloarthritis or arthritis mutilans. I have researched the clinical and radiographic differences between PsA and AS, and juvenile- vs. adult-onset AS. As Director of the Rheumatology Research Unit, I lead on >10 phase 2a – 4 clinical studies of novel therapeutic agents for PsA, AS and RA. The research unit currently has >20 active clinical trials including in addition SLE, Sjogren's, GCA, PMR, gout, and chronic pain. I have particular expertise in existing and emerging biologics (biologicals such TNFi, IL-17i, IL-23i, JAKi, PDE4i) and biosimilars therapies, both in clinical practice and clinical trials. As an Associate-PI at the University of Cambridge, my research interests include biomarkers (genetic, serum, cellular, MRI, ultrasound and radiographic) of psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis; in terms of disease severity, phenotype and treatment response. In October 2020, I was appointed Director of Studies At Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge.
