Coward, Richard - University of Bristol - School of Clinical Sciences

个人简介

Richard did his undergraduate training at Bristol University and then specialised in Paediatrics gaining his MRCP in child health. His clinical training has been undertaken in the South West of England, Great Ormond Street, London and the Starship hospital in Auckland, New Zealand. It was during this time that he decided to specialise in Paediatric Nephrology. In 2001 he was awarded a PhD fellowship funded by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Wellchild to study the molecular biology of the podocyte. After this he was appointed as a consulatant in Paediatric Nephrology at the Royal Hospital for Children in Bristol. In 2006 he was awarded an MRC Clinican Scientist fellowship enabling him to work in the world leading glomerular laboratory in Toronto, Canada with Professor Susan Quaggin to extend his studies. In 2013 he secured a prestigeous MRC Senior Clinical Fellowship to develop his laboratory and research interests further, whilst continuing to have a clinical commitment in Paediatric Nephrology. From 2011-2014 Richard was the head of research for the School of Clinical Sciences and co-lead for developing and delivering undergraduate paediatric teaching in the Univerisity. He is currently the chair of the national clinical study group for paediatric nephrology and the lead for research for the British Association of Paediatric Nephrology. Since 2014 he has been a member of the grant committee for Kidney Research UK and an MRC College reviewer for the Newton fund.
