Reader in Hepatic and Renal Pathology Dr Chris Bellamy Reader in Hepatic and Renal Pathology Department of Pathology The University of Edinburgh Contact details Work: +44 (0)131 242 7510 Email: c.bellamy@ed.ac.uk Current ResearchI specialise in kidney and liver histopathology, including transplantation pathology and developments thereof. Present interests cover a variety of topics including recognition of antibody mediated rejection in liver transplants, and the phenotypes of macrophages in kidney and liver allografts, together with new approaches to evaluating such multiplex data.Aims:•To identify biomarkers important in the development of liver cancer.•To identify biomarkers important for liver & kidney allograft disease.•To develop multispectral imaging technology to improve prognosis & diagnosis by allowing multicomponent analysis on clinical biopsy material.Group MembersMembers Name RoleTelephoneEmailDr Sandrine Prost Senior Lecturer Email Sandrine ProstWeb LinksFull publication listSelected PublicationsMcGenity C, Wyatt JI, Randell R, Bellamy C, Burt A, Cratchley A, Davies S, Golding R, Hubscher S.
