David Beech PhD

David Beech is a Professor of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Leeds, a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences, a Wellcome Investigator, and a BHF Ph.D. Programme Director. His research interest is cellular calcium homeostasis and particularly the idea that mechanisms of calcium entry extend beyond voltage-gated calcium channels to other calcium-permeable channels, mediating responses to important chemical and mechanical stimuli. He led multiple complex projects with cardiologists, obstetricians, and surgeons. With his outstanding scientific and leadership capabilities, he continues to build on an already large volume of discoveries and intellectual property that motivates a new spinout company.
