About Professor Anthony Dorling

He did his PhD under the supervision of Robert Lechler at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, before embarking on specialist training in Nephrology in 1995. He was appointed Senior Lecturer in Immunology at Imperial College London and honorary Consultant Nephrologist at the Hammersmith Hospital in 2001, becoming a Reader in 2005. He was awarded fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians in the same year. He took up his current post in October 2009.

Research interests

Professor Dorling's early research interests were in xenotransplantation, out of which grew his interest in coagulation proteases and the role of protease activated receptors in inflammation and immunity, especially in transplantation. His current research is focused mainly on the role of inflammatory factors, including thrombin, on the endogenous repair response. He maintains an interest in xenotransplantation, alongside an active clinical research programme investigating mechanisms and novel treatment regimes in chronic allograft rejection. He is the chief investigator of RituxiCAN-C4, a multicentre randomized controlled trial of rituximab in chronic renal allograft rejection.
