Professor Sean Davidson

University College London, London (United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland)

Member of:

European Society of Cardiology

Sean Davidson obtained his PhD in Melbourne, Australia on the regulation of heat shock proteins HSPs. During a postdoctoral position in Paris, he demonstrated that small HSPs are essential for early cardiac development. He moved to London in 1998 and is now Professor at the Hatter Cardiovascular Institute at University College London, where he researches methods to protect the heart from ischaemia and reperfusion injury. A major focus of his interest lies in discovering the mechanism by which endogenous nanoparticles called exosomes can protect the heart. He is actively involved in the scientific community of cardiovascular research as Past-Chair of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Working Group on Cell Biology of the Heart, and is Secretary of the International Society for Heart Research – European Section (ISHR-ES). He is an associate editor of Cardiovascular Research and is on the editorial board of Basic Research in Cardiology and Scientific Reports.
