Biography

David Baird is a Senior Clinical Research Fellow and Honorary Consultant in Renal Medicine at the Centre for Inflammation Research. His research focuses on the use of novel biomarkers to understand kidney injury and aging, with a keen interest in translational research that progresses biomarker discovery into clinical tools for early diagnosis and risk stratification. Baird aims to identify patients who would benefit from innovative, precision-based therapies, ultimately improving outcomes for those with kidney disease. He leads projects utilizing state-of-the-art spatial transcriptomic and proteomic technologies to analyze samples from kidney organ donors. His work involves decoding the activity of senescent and injured cells in the kidney and developing non-invasive urinary biomarkers to reflect levels of senescence, which would aid in predicting outcomes for kidney transplantation and the development of chronic kidney disease following cardiac surgery.
