Brian is a Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Immunology. He is a veterinary clinical research scientist whose research involves studying canine immunology and immune-mediated diseases.
Biography
Brian graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 1992. After spending 3 years in veterinary small animal practice, he returned to the RVC to study for a PhD in immunology in collaboration with the Infection & Immunity Research group, King’s College London. Following a period as a Research Fellow, Brian was appointed as Lecturer in Veterinary Immunology in 2001 before becoming a Senior lecturer.
Research
Brian’s research interests centre around canine immunology and immune-mediated diseases. Brian is currently investigating canine endocrine disease, more specifically working to understand the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and hypoadrenocorticism in dogs. In particular, identifying dogs with Type 1 (immune-mediated) diabetes and performing genetic analysis for potential susceptibility genes (QMHA Clinical Trials).
Brian is currently involved in cancer immunotherapy; developing therapeutic DNA vaccines for canine malignant melanoma and mast-cell tumours, designed to stimulate an immune response to associated antigens for treatment of metastatic disease.
Brian is also involved in a study characterising innate immune response genes in German Shepherd dogs to determine whether these are involved in susceptibility of this breed to various disease syndromes (including anal furunculosis and inflammatory bowel disease). Alongside this, Brian is also examining the genetics of vaccine responses in dogs; how immune response genes can influence the response to vaccination.
Teaching
Brian teaches the core immunology component on the undergraduate BVetMed course as well as contributing to immunology teaching on the BSc Bioveterinary Sciences and BSc Veterinary Pathology courses. He is also the departmental contact for endocrinology in the BVetMed course.
Clinical
Brian is responsible for maintaining the RVC DNA archive which is a database and sample archive from the clinical caseload that comes through the clinical pathology service.
