Curriculum Vitae<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Harry Holthofer  MD, PhD<\/strong> graduated from the University of Helsinki,  Finland and  specialized in clinical microbiology\/immunology. His hospital-based positions have included those of internal medicine, pulmology, pediatrics and occupational health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research of Prof Holthofer has focused on the biology of the glomerular filtration barrier, particularly in congenital nephrotic syndrome as well as kidney complications of  diabetes. For that, various approaches ranging from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry combined with in vitro and in vivo analytical platforms have revealed new integral molecules constituting the functional kidney filtration barrier. The present main research line includes development of new methods for comprehensive understanding of urinary vesicles (including exosomes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He became Professor and Director of the Technomedicum Research Centre from 2001-2006 in Finland and subsequently moved to Ireland to take up the Professorship and Chair of Bioanalytical Sciences at Dublin City University and to become Director of the Center for Bioanalytical Sciences in September 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has set up and directed several European Union (EU) funded programs focussing on diabetes, its biomarkers and new diagnostics and is presently setting up a wave of European collaborative grants to and from China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof Holthofer is a founding member of the International Committee to Standardise Proteomics Methods in Kidney Research and European Kidney Health Initiative and serves in the boards of several research organisations including the European ERA-EDTA and got several international prices and acknowledgements of his expertise and achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
