个人简介

Dr Matthew Simmonds is a Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Science in College of Science whose research involves investigating genetic predictors of long-term pancreas transplant function in people with type 1 diabetes. During my PhD and early postdoctoral career at the University of Birmingham, UK, my work focused on investigating the genetic contribution to common autoimmune disease, using autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) as a model. This provided unparalleled opportunities to learn about the genes involved in the autoimmune disease process, mechanisms behind these associations and understand how genetically similar AITD is to other autoimmune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes (T1D). To create my own unique independent research identity, I was keen to utilise the skills I gained in immunity and autoimmunity and transfer these into investigating genetic predictors of transplant function. I initially collaborated with several groups in the UK to look at genetic predictors of long-term kidney transplant function. In 2010, I moved to University of Oxford to establish from scratch my own research area investigating genetic predictors of long-term pancreas transplant function in people with type 1 diabetes. My group has been the first to identify several genetic variants within the genomes of both donors and transplant recipients which impact upon long-term pancreas graft function. I have also produced several conference presentations and senior author publications within this new area. I have now moved to the University of Lincoln to continue to enhance and expand this unique research area looking at genetic predictors of pancreas transplant function and will also be taking an active role in the excellent biosciences teaching that occurs at Lincoln.
