During the SpR training, a research training at the William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary, University of London, led to a Ph.D. examining the mechanisms underlying acute kidney injury. Subsequently, he undertook a Clinical Lectureship (SpR training and basic science research) in nephrology at the Department of Nephrology, Royal Free Hospital and The Hatter Cardiovascular Research Institute, University College London and completed higher medical training in September 2011.
