Dipak Ramji received his BSc (Hons) degree (Biochemistry) and his PhD from University of Leeds. This was followed by post-doctoral research at the EMBL (Heidelberg) and IRBM (Rome) with fellowships from the Royal Society and the EU. He joined Cardiff University in 1992 and is currently a Reader at Cardiff School of Biosciences. His research is focused on the impact of the immune and inflammatory responses in atherosclerosis with emphasis on the action of cytokines on macrophages. He has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers, reviews and book chapters.
Thomas Davies received his BSc (Hons) degree (Genetics) from Cardiff University in 2009, completing his PhD, also at Cardiff University, in 2013. His PhD project was focused on the characterization of Ca2+-signaling mechanisms in vascular tone and vascular calcification in the arterial-expressed extracellular calcium-sensing receptor. His current post-doctoral research aims to delineate the roles of the JAK/STAT and ERK1/2 axis in interferon-gamma-mediated signaling in macrophage-dependent atherosclerotic plaque development.
