Role

I am the Director of Postgraduate Research Studies for the Deanery of Clinical Sciences, as well as the MBChB Y1 Director, Edinburgh Medical School.

Current Research

I am interested in the cellular reactions to injury and their role in determining pathogenesis and disease outcome. Our current translational research aims to identify within the diseased tissue new biomarker combinations to improve the recognition and management of inflammatory renal and hepatic disease and of cancer of various etiologies. We are using Nanostring technology and multiplex immunofluorescence coupled with multispectral imaging (Nuance Perkin Elmer) in clinical biopsy samples to phenotype individual cells of interest with 5-6 specific markers  and their environment with an additional 5 to 6 markers. Recent work includes a detailed comparative in situ phenotyping study of macrophages in clinical inflammatory and allo-immune conditions affecting the liver and kidney, while new studies are interrogating macrophages phenotypes and immune environment in bladder cancer ( Melville Trust for the Care & Cure of Cancer) and ANCA vasculitis (Kidney Research UK).
