Biography

Professor Christopher Loughrey is a professor of Experimental Cardiology at the Glasgow Cardiovascular Research Centre, University of Glasgow, UK. He graduated in Veterinary Medicine and Surgery with commendation in 2000 and subsequently completed a PhD in 2003 on how different FK-506 binding proteins alter cardiomyocyte calcium handling. Following this, he held a post-doctoral position at the University of Glasgow during which time he led a collaboration with a pharmaceutical company to discover the cardiac-related action of novel therapeutic drugs including K201/JTV519. In 2005, Professor Loughrey established his own laboratory and was appointed as a Lecturer, then Senior Lecturer (2010) and is currently a Reader (2017). He has been a Principal Investigator on a number of project grants funded by the Medical Research Council, British Heart Foundation, Heart Research UK, Medical Research Scotland and Chief Scientist Office. He is currently the Executive Deputy Editor of Cardiovascular Research and serves on the Editorial board of the British Journal of Pharmacology and Frontiers in Physiology; Cardiac Electrophysiology.


Research interests

Member: Cardiac Research 

 

 

 

Professor Loughrey’s laboratory use an integrative approach to study the pathophysiology of heart disease. His group has a particular focus on the mechanisms contributing to changes in heart architecture and function following myocardial infarction and how this adverse cardiac remodelling leads to heart failure. His group have identified several new therapeutic targets with translational potential for limiting the progression to heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction.

 

Key research areas include: Excitation-contraction coupling in ventricular cardiomyocytes, sarcoplasmic reticulum–mediated calcium handling, adverse cardiac remodelling, myocardial infarction, heart failure, ischaemia-reperfusion injury, runt-related transcription factors (Runx1, Runx2 and Runx3) and cathepsins.

 

Professor Loughrey’s laboratory has expertise in a number of methodologies which span the level of the single cell, isolated organ, whole animal in vivo and patient including: confocal microscopy, single cell electrophysiology, fluorescence measurements/imaging, Western blotting, rtqPCR, isolated heart techniques (Langendorff perfusion and working heart preparations) and in vivo cardiac phenotyping/micro-surgery (e.g. intra-ventricular pressure-volume measurements, electrocardiography, echocardiography and mouse models of myocardial infarction and ischaemia–reperfusion injury)
