| Dr Jonathan Erlich
Prince of Wales Clinical School - Department of MedicineStatement of Interests:
Areas of interest include; renal disease and it vascular consequences; the interaction of the tissue factor thrombin protease coagulation cascade and inflammation and vascular remodelling. In particular models of renal ischaemia reperfusion injury, cardiac fibrosis, renal fibrosis have been examined. Our current main focus has been on the role of the protease activated receptors in renal reperfusion injury, their potential role in organ preservation and post transplant renal dysfunction.

| Dr Philip Peake
Prince of Wales Clinical SchoolStatement of Interests:
Adiponectin is an adipocyte specific hormone with insulin sensitising, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. Research concerns its behaviour in renal and other diseases, its physiochemical structure, and its interactions with other molecules, including those of the complement system.

| Professor Paul Thomas
Prince of Wales Clinical School - Department of MedicineStatement of Interests:
Innovative research has emerged from our studies on non-invasive methods of studying airway diseases. We have shown that exhaled nitric oxide is a method by which we can monitor lung diseases such as asthma. In addition, we are studying methods of detecting and monitoring lung diseases such as COPD and lung cancer by using breath analysis. In addition, there is the opportunity to start novel projects in sarcoidosis and the ways in which the lung is affected by diving. The research techniques range from basic molecular biology to clinical trials in the above areas. All the above studies are supported by competitive research grants and any interest in research in the above areas will be encouraged. Many peer-reviewed publications have arisen from these projects, and any participation would be expected to generate presentations and manuscripts. Most ILP students have gained at least one journal article during their study period, while other candidates have achieved more than this.
