Professor in Renal Medicine, UCL Department of Renal Medicine/Honorary Consultant Nephrologst, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust
Ben Walsh is a clinician scientist with an interest in both rare renal tubular disorders and disorders of blood pressure. He leads a specialist national clinic for patients with inherited and acquired renal tubular disease.
His research involves the physiology of renal epithelial sodium and other solute transport, and how that relates to blood pressure homeostasis, in rare genetic (Gitelman and Gordon syndromes, distal Renal Tubular Acidosis) as well as common (hypertension, metabolic syndrome) diseases. His laboratory group, the London Tubular Centre, uses physiological and imaging methods with cell and animal models as well as human subjects.
Matthew Bailey is Professor of Renal Physiology in the British Heart Foundation Centre for Cardiovascular Science at the University of Edinburgh and a Fellow of The Royal Society of Biology. He has a PhD from The University of London, received postdoctoral training at UCL and CNRS in Saclay, France and held Wellcome Trust Fellowships at Yale University and the University of Edinburgh. Matt's team examines the physiology of salt balance and is funded by the British Heart Foundation, Kidney Research UK, Diabetes UK and the Medical Research Council.
Rhys Evans is a Consultant Nephrologist and Associate Professor in the UCL Department of Renal Medicine. He was an undergraduate at Cambridge University, undertook general nephrology training in London, and he subsequently completed a Fellowship in Transplantation at the University of British Columbia. He returned to the Royal Free in November 2021 where he works clinically as a transplant nephrologist and is deputy lead of the Centre for Transplantation. Rhys undertook his PhD at UCL under the supervision of Prof Alan Salama and Prof Stephen Walsh. His research is focused on the impact of the extracellular ionic environment on immune cell activation with a particular focus on changes in immunity that occur in states of altered sodium balance. He recently provided the first report of immunodeficiency in a patient with Salt-Losing Tubulopathy. He has just received funding to explore the effect of sodium on the alloimmune response.
