Dr Keith Redpath
Lecturer in Biosciences (Vascular Biology)
Summary
Keith graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences, Physiology from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, 2009. He then moved straight into a PhD in the lab of Prof Graeme Nixon at the University of Aberdeen, investigating how zinc deficiency affects vascular smooth muscle cell signalling within the aorta and carotid arteries. This PhD was part funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). He graduated with his PhD in 2013. Keith then moved to Cardiff, Wales to take up a 5-year BHF funded research associate position in the lab of Prof Valerie O'Donnell investigating specfically how oxidized phospholipids participate in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). In 2018, Keith then took up a senior research fellow position at the University of Reading, England in the lab of Prof Parveen Yaqoob, it was here that he developed a keen interest in extracellular vesicles and how they signal in vascular diseases such as ischemic heart disease (IHD) and AAA. In January 2023, Keith became a lecturer in vascular biology at Brunel University London, England where he aims to develop further his research into extracellular vesicles and vascular diseases.
