Dr David Gaze completed both Undergraduate and Postgraduate degrees in West Yorkshire followed by a PhD in Clinical Biochemistry in London, United Kingdom. He is currently lecturer in Clinical Biochemistry at the University of Westminster and Honorary Cardiac Research Scientist within the Department of Chemical Pathology, Clinical Blood Sciences at St George’s Hospital and Medical School, London. Dr Gaze has authored and co-authored in excess of 150 peer reviewed papers and over 200 abstracts, as well as presented at over 50 internationally invited conferences. He has contributed six book chapters on Cardiovascular disease and biomarkers as well as writing a textbook on cardiac troponin. He is a peer reviewer of 25 medical journals. Dr Gaze is a member of the Royal Society of Medicine of London; The Association for Clinical Biochemistry, of which he chairs the Clinical Sciences Review Committee for the Annals of Clinical Biochemistry. He is also a member of the American Association of Clinical Chemistry; Institute of Biomedical Sciences; Institute of Biology; European Society of Pathology; The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland and associate member of the Royal Institution of London. Dr Gaze and colleagues have won a number of awards including two distinguished Abstract awards from the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry as well as Diploma for Oral Presentation regarding D-dimer, natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin in dialysis patients presented at the 17th IFCC-FESCC European Congress of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine and the 60th National congress of the Netherlands Society of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine in Amsterdam in 2007.

Dr Gaze is currently researching in the area of Cardiovascular Biology. He has an interest in assay utilisation for the laboratory diagnosis of the acute coronary syndromes. In particular proteins of the troponin complex located within cardiomyocytes and natriuretic peptide hormones released from ‘stretched’ myocytes as a result of hypertrophy in chronic heart failure. Dr Gaze has a special interest in cardiovascular pathophysiology in patients with renal failure, especially those who develop end stage chronic kidney disease, requiring dialysis renal replacement therapy. Dr Gaze has many close collaborations with manufacturers in the in vitro diagnostics industry and has developed a number of immunoassays for the detection of cardiac troponin. He is interested in test utilisation within the National Health Service and has investigated the use of point of care (near patient testing) for cardiac biomarkers in dedicated settings such as the emergency department and coronary and intensive care. Dr Gaze has an interest in exercise induced cardiac dysfunction and has collaborated with colleagues at the English Institute of Sport, High Wickham; Cardiff Metropolitan University and Liverpool John Moores University to investigate adaptive physiological responses to exercise stimuli.
