John H. McVey PhD FRCPath FRSB Head, Department of Biochemical Sciences Cardiovascular Section Lead is Professor of Cardiovascular Biology at the University of Surrey and visiting Professorship at Royal Holloway, London.
He took a degree in Biochemistry at Glasgow University, before completing his PhD studies at the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research (Glasgow). He held postdoctoral positions at Middlesex Hospital Medical School and at the MRC National Institute for Medical Research (Mill Hill) before joining the MRC Haemostasis and Thrombosis Group at its conception to pursue molecular genetic approaches to furthering our understanding of haemostasis.
John has authored or co-authored over 125 peer-reviewed papers and many book chapters in the area of blood coagulation and haemostasis (h index =53) . He is a communicating editor for Human Mutation as well as a member of the Editorial Board of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.
His research focuses on the regulation of blood coagulation and the role that coagulation factors play in normal physiology and in the pathophysiology of disease:
• Studies on the initiation of blood coagulation in disease models
• Development of novel anticoagulant strategies
• Gene therapy for inherited coagulation factor disorders
• Genetic and functional studies in inherited coagulation disorders
• Role of coagulation factors in modulating delivery of adenoviral gene therapy vectors
