Dr Cuttle is a Research Officer with the Centre for Children's Burns Research (CCBR). Dr Cuttle is a group leader within Prof Roy Kimble's Centre for Children's Burns Research at the Royal Children's Hospital. She commenced work with the Centre for Children's Burns Research in 2002. The main aims of the centre include discovering new treatments to help burn wounds heal without scarring and to compare currently available therapies.
The topic of her recently completed PhD was "First Aid Treatment of Burn Injuries: Optimum Treatment and Mechanisms of Action". Her project involved revising the first aid guidelines and determining the optimum temperature, duration and delay for first aid and whether ice or common alternative therapies (such as aloe vera and tea tree oil) were effective.
Her research areas of interest include burn wound healing (and wound healing/regeneration in general), developing novel treatments for acute burn injuries, the role of pain and inflammation in the wound healing response and improving the diagnosis and treatment of children with burn injuries.
