Dr Peter Hewins is Consultant Nephrologist and Honorary Senior Lecturer at UoB. His main clinical and research interests lie in immune-mediated inflammatory renal disease, particularly systemic vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosis and primary glomerular disease. He completed a Wellcome Trust intermediate Fellowship in the School of Immunity and Infection at UoB between 2005-2009 investigating the role of complementary proteinase 3 in the development of PR3-ANCA-associated vasculitis. He continues to work with Professor Lorraine Harper (School of Immunology and Infection, UoB) on vasculities and with Professor Caroline Gordon (School of Immunity and Infection, UoB) on Lupus.

Mr Tariq Ismail is a Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon who has played a key role in developing colorectal referral pathways, advanced colorectal laparoscopic surgery and enhanced surgical recovery in Birmingham and the West Midlands. He was one of the first to perform SILS (Single Incision Laprascopic Surgery) for bowel cancer in the UK. He has published widely on translational research in proteomics, gene therapy and biomarkers in colorectal cancer. His research team have been awarded major research grants from Cancer Research UK, the MRC and the Wellcome Foundation for pivotal studies on early detection of bowel cancer. His research fellows have received a number of awards including the Arderne Gold Medal by the Royal Society of Medicine, Syme Professorship by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the Digestive Diseases Prize by the Association of Coloproctology.

Prof Deirdre Kelly undertakes research in paediatric liver disease. She collaborates with Prof Jon Frampton and Prof Phillip Newsome in the School of Immunity and Infection at UoB on the development of stem cell therapy and molecular genetics in inherited paediatric liver and bowel disease and with Prof Jane McKeating (School of Immunity and Infection at UoB) and staff in the Centre for Liver Research on research into viral hepatitis and molecular studies of hepatitis C virus mother-child transmission. During the REF period she has also collaborated with Prof Eamonn Maher (previously UoB now Cambridge) and Dr Paul Gissen (previously UoB now Great Ormand Street Hospital) on the genetics of phenotype diarrhoea of infancy and the genetics of cholestatic liver diseases on gene chip research (Evaluation of the Brum Gene Chip in neonatal Liver Disease) and with Prof David Adams (School of Immunity and Infection at UoB) on patient transition funded by BSPCHAN/CORE. Her current University research is funded by a Stuart Masters Fellowship and the Birmingham Children's Hospital Research Foundation.
