Complement in ANCA vasculitis,
from bench to bedside
The ANCA associated
vasculitides (AAV) are a group of autoimmune diseases which cause multi system
injury including glomerulonephritis. In the last decade a series of advances
have defined the complement system as a key participant in this disease. Complement
targeted therapy is now in advanced clinical trials for treatment of AAV. The
talk will cover the major advances in this area, how his own research has
highlighted novel roles for complement in models of this disease.
Dr Jonathan Dick is a
clinician studying for a PhD supervised by Professors Stephen Holdsworth and
Richard Kitching. He read Medicine at the University of Oxford and University
College London before training in General Medicine and Nephrology in London.
His research interest is in the role of the complement system in ANCA
associated vasculitis.
