Matt Bailey is a renal physiologist with training from UCL, CNRS and Yale University. Currently Chair of Renal Physiology at Edinburgh, he investigates physiological and molecular pathways of cardiovascular and renal dysfunction in hypertension and renal disease. Bailey’s research group has longstanding expertise in using innovative methodologies to assessment of hypertension and renal dysfunction in mice, including measurement of vascular and tubular function in vivo and ex vivo.
He has >90 publications (H-index=30, citations >2600), including recent papers in European Heart Journal, JASN, Hypertension, Kidney International (x2), eBioMedicine and Circulation. Awarded >£4M in research funding and >£7.5M for Doctoral Training, he has current grants from MRC, Kidney Research UK, British Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK and is a PI for the £3M BHF Centre of Research Excellence at Edinburgh.
Matt writes for major renal textbooks (The Kidney, The Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology, Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology) and teaches at renal summer schools across Europe. He is active in public engagement (www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZEmj_lks-o) and was shortlisted for THE2018 Outstanding Research Supervisor of the Year.
His current main project areas are: 1) the control of renal haemodynamics and tubular function by intrarenal signalling systems, such as ATP, endothelin and lactate; 2) the mechanisms contributing to salt-sensitive hypertension and 3) the molecular basis of AKI-to-CKD transition
