Professor Robin Choudhury

Robin is Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford and Consultant Cardiologist at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

His translational science laboratory aims to understand how cells of the innate immune system are involved in processes of tissue homeostasis, injury and repair. Areas of particular interest focus around: 

• understanding the role of monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils in acute myocardial infarction; myocardial regeneration vs repair and in atherosclerosis
• how bone marrow stem cells are 'programmed' e.g. by extracellular vesicles and through genetic / epigenetic and metabolic mechanisms.

With REACT, Robin contributes to both the identification of therapeutic targets and design and implementation of future clinical programmes.
