Dr David Grieve

School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences

My research programme is focussed on investigating mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease and heart failure, with a particular interest in the influence of oxidative stress and diabetes. My group employs a wide range of laboratory techniques, from in vivo physiology to molecular biology and clinical validation, to investigate mechanisms underlying the adaptive but ultimately detrimental changes that occur in various cardiovascular disease states and how these may be modulated towards therapeutic benefit.
