OverviewAI-generated summary

Nicole L. Ward's research focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying psoriatic disease, including its associated cardiovascular risks. Her work investigates the role of specific enzymes, such as phospholipase A2, and signaling pathways, like the IL-17 signalosome, in the amplification of inflammatory responses in the skin. She has utilized single-cell and spatial sequencing techniques to define these processes, contributing to a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of conditions like psoriasis and pityriasis rubra pilaris.

Ward also contributes to the field of nursing education, particularly in adapting pedagogical approaches for remote learning environments. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 46, with over 164 publications and 6,624 citations, reflecting a significant body of work. She leads a research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and collaborates with several colleagues, including Leslie McCormack, Natalie Capps, Beverly English, and Keneshia Bryant-Moore, all within the same institution.
