I am Professor of Cardiovascular Immunology at the University of Glasgow (UK) and co-lead the ARUA/Guild Africa-Europe Centre of Excellence in Non-Communicable Diseases and Multimorbidity.
I hold several leadership roles, including Vice-President (Engagement) of the British Pharmacological Society, Chair of the Translational Research Medical Review Panel for Heart Research UK, and Chair of the Publication Committee of the International Union of Immunological Societies. I also serve as Senior Collaborator on the Global Burden of Disease project.
In addition, I contribute to editorial leadership of major scientific journals as Deputy Editor of Cardiovascular Research and Associate Editor of Pharmacological Research.
My research spans basic and clinical studies investigating immune mechanisms in cardiovascular disease, with a particular focus on Africa. I have authored more than 160 peer-reviewed publications in leading journals, including The Lancet, Nature Genetics, Nature Reviews Cardiology, Immunity, European Heart Journal, Circulation, and the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
