Research Talks by Professor Chris Thiemermann and Professor Cherry Wainwright in August 2011

Professor Chris Thiemermann is a Professor of Pharmacology and Centre Lead for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics at the William Harvey Research Institute (WHRI) at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. The WHRI was founded by the Nobel Laureate, Sir John Vane, in 1985. Research in WHRI is devoted chiefly to the understanding of basic pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic innovation in cardiovascular, inflammation and endocrine diseases. Prof Thiemermann’s C.V. is available through this link: http://www.whri.qmul.ac.uk/staff/thiemermann.html.

Professor Cherry Wainwright is the Director of the Institute for Health and Welfare Research (IHWR) at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen Scotland. Her research focuses largely on the use of a wide range of cellular, in vitro and in vivo models of cardiovascular disease to explore how normal physiological mechanisms are altered in cardiovascular pathology and to identify novel therapeutic targets for the treatment and prevention of these diseases.
