He also works as an Honorary Consultant Rheumatologist in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde where he runs specialist psoriatic arthritis (PsA), complex inflammatory tendinopathy and combined dermatology-gastroenterology-rheumatology clinics. Prof. Siebert leads the PsA and SpA clinical research programme in Glasgow and is the lead on several national and regional investigator-led studies. Research activities include disease pathogenesis, biomarker discovery, comorbidities, routine-data linkage and running observational cohort, experimental medicine and interventional studies. He has published widely in peer-reviewed journals.
