Dr McIntyre attended Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School, London UK, qualifying in 1990. Specializing in Nephrology he trained initially as a Registrar at University College London and subsequently as Lecturer at St Barts and the Royal London Hospital. He completed an intercalated period of predominantly laboratory based research investigating the effects of novel vitamin D sterols on uremic bone.
In 1999 he was appointed as Consultant Nephrologist at the Royal Derby Hospital and subsequently as Reader in Vascular Medicine and then Professor of Nephrology at Nottingham University, becoming Head of the Division of Graduate Entry Medicine and Medical Sciences. Dr McIntyre led a team of multidisciplinary researchers focussed largely on the pathophysiology of the widespread abnormalities of cardiovascular function and body composition in CKD patients. These studies included basic clinical science, natural history studies and the development and application of novel therapeutic strategies. These studies have increasingly focussed on the adverse consequences resulting from dialysis therapy itself and the improvement in outcomes by the reduction of preventable harm.
He has recently moved to his new role in Canada as Professor of Medicine and was awarded the inaugural Robert Lindsay Chair of Dialysis Research and Innovation at Western University, London Ontario. He also serves as Director of the Lilibeth Caberto Kidney Clinical Research Unit at London Health Sciences Centre, as Assistant Director of the Lawson Health Research Institute and is cross appointed as full Professor in the Department of Medical Biophysics at Western.
