Damian Mole is a Professor of Surgery at the University of Edinburgh and a Senior Clinical Fellow at the Medical Research Council. His research focuses on advancing translational therapies for both benign and malignant diseases affecting the liver, pancreas, and biliary system. He is driven by a vision to produce innovative solutions to complex health and societal problems involving challenging diseases. Utilizing an entrepreneurial research strategy, he critically questions existing paradigms and evaluates disease mechanisms, seeking to build effective teams that can discover and deliver impactful solutions. His current research includes understanding how sustained significant inflammation can diminish overall survival and affect organ performance. His work is centred at the intersection of inflammation, metabolism, and the immune system, with a specific focus on kynurenine monooxygenase (KMO), a mitochondrial enzyme that plays a major role in controlling metabolism and inflammation. By blocking KMO, his research aims to reduce cellular injury and protect tissues, thus harnessing the immune system to regulate responses to injury and inflammation.
