Chair: Professor Janaka Karalliedde, King's College London
Janaka is a clinician scientist with a research programme focussed on cardio-renal complications in diabetes. His group reported the first evidence that people of African-Caribbean heritage with type 1 diabetes are at increased risk of kidney and eye complications compared to people from other heritages. Other work has elucidated the role of arterial ageing on kidney disease and the role of ‘automated insulin delivery’ in people with diabetes on haemodialysis.
He has more than 100 peer-reviewed publications on cardiovascular and kidney disease. Janaka has experience and expertise managing patients with kidney and cardiovascular complications at Guy’s and St Thomas Hospital and has led multi-award winning programme of work on using digital data/informatics to guide risk stratification and clinical prioritisation that is now embedded in routine care.
