Professor of Cardiovascular Molecular Therapy in the School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health. After completing his PhD at the Bristol Heart Institute, University of Bristol working on targeting adenoviral gene transfer vectors for cardiovascular gene therapy he then moved to post-doctoral training in the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics at the University of Glasgow. From there he was successful in securing a British Heart Foundation Intermediate Fellowship before an academic position at the University of Glasgow. He has been Principal Investigator on a number of project grants funded by the British Heart Foundation and Medical Research Council and is co-investigator in the BHF Centre of Research Excellence. He is currently Executive Deputy Editor of Cardiovascular Research and on the Editorial Board of Human Gene Therapy, Molecular Therapy, Hypertension and Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine- Cardiovascular Biologics and Regenerative Medicine. He is elected to the Executive Board of the British Society for Gene and Cell Therapy as General Secretary.
Research interests
Research Theme: Cardiac Diseases
My primary research interests are in novel therapeutic approaches in cardiovascular disease and in particular the development of cardiovascular gene therapies. We are studying models of myocardial infarction, hypertensive cardiac remodelling and acute vascular injury using gene therapy approaches via viral vector-mediated gene transfer. We also have a key interest in the counter-regulatory renin angiotensin system, both for studies into its molecular mechanisms of action and in identifying and developing novel therapeutic approaches which can be studied using gene transfer and other therapeutic approaches. Ultimately, we aim to identify therapeutic applications which can be developed in cardiovascular disease.
Research:
- Counter-regulatory renin angiotensin system
- Gene therapy
- Viral vectors
