大卫•贝克

As 生物科学代谢部主管 for 心血管, 肾与代谢(CVRM), 我监督和指导澳门葡京赌博游戏的战略, seeking to underst和 the role of metabolism in illness. This includes participating in the core strategy team 和 business development activities, 和 being a champion for inclusion 和 diversity.  

Altered metabolic processes play a key part in all CVRM diseases 和 underst和ing these changes can be critical in finding effective treatments. My role involves working closely with teams across all of our research sites 和 CVRM research programmes. We have a diverse research portfolio, spanning from target investigations to phase 2b studies in diseases such as diabetes, 肥胖, non-alcoholic liver diseases 和 dyslipidaemia (high lipids in the blood).

I received my PhD in Physiology 和 Pharmacology from the University of Nottingham Medical School 和 have worked for many years in the field of drug discovery including work on muscle disorders, 肥胖和糖尿病, 两者都用 在活的有机体内 和 在体外 方法. I have been working consistently across CVRM diseases since 2014.

Effective teamworking is vital to successful drug development. It is important that colleagues can benefit from a range of skills, communicate effectively 和 underst和 each other. My experience in collaborative team building 和 leadership extends across academia 和 industry, including both scientific leadership 和 people development. The collaborations I facilitate enable teams across the business 和 beyond to generate high-impact science that drives the discovery of life-changing medicines.
