Overview
Dr Protty is a WCAT academic clinical registrar in cardiology with an interest in inflammation (bodily reaction to damaging irritants), thrombosis and haemostasis (clot formation in health and disease), as it relates to patients suffering from heart conditions.
He completed his PhD at the Cardiff Lipidomics Group in 2021, funded by the Wellcome Trust GW4CAT fellowship. Continuing from his PhD, Dr Protty is invesigating the role that inflammatory procoagulant phospholipids play in arterial thrombosis (e.g. heart attacks) supported by a Starter Grant for Clinical Lecturers from the Academy of Medical Sciences.

Research
Cardiovascular (heart) disease is the number one cause of death in the UK. Patients with heart disease who experience a heart attack are at a higher risk of suffering another heart attack, stroke or death. Heart attacks happen as a result of blockages in heart arteries. These blockages are caused by inflammation (a reaction to a damaging irritant) and lead to activation of blood cells such as white cells (responsible for wound healing) and platelets (responsible for blood clotting) which in turn lead to abnormal clotting and blockages in arteries.
Blood clotting happens through interactions of blood proteins with particular fats (phospholipids) that are present on the surface of blood cells and are linked to inflammation. Their potential role in driving abnormal clotting events in heart attacks is unknown. If identified, it may serve as a potential new treatment. This is important since one in ten patients who experience a heart attack remain at risk of developing another heart attack, a stroke, or dying despite current treatment.
My research is focused on the phospholipid profile generated by blood cells in patients with heart disease, with the aim of identifying the drivers of clotting in these patients, and developing new treatment targets.

Biography
Dr Protty's commitment to academic medicine began when he was 18 years old. He deferred his offer to study medicine for three years to work with Dr Mike Tomlinson (Birmingham) in a world-leading cardiovascular sciences laboratory led by British Heart Foundation (BHF) Professor Steve Watson (Birmingham). Within this time, Dr Protty investigated the intricate signalling pathways of platelets and the role they play in thrombotic and bleeding disorders.
Following this, Dr Protty started his medical training at the University of Birmingham during which he continued to pursue research opportunities. This is best exemplified by being awarded a Wellcome Trust Biomedical Vacation Scholarship to carry out research on anti-HIV RNA aptamers at the University of Oxford (Prof William James). Dr Protty graduated the MBChB (clinical medicine) course in 2013 with honours, three distinctions and 15 national and local prizes.
Subsequently, Dr Protty moved to Wales following his appointment to the highly competitive academic foundation programme in Cardiff. During this time, he continued his journey in academic cardiology and was awarded an MSc degree (Cardiff University) in therapeutics with distinction, studying the use of lipid lowering therapy in patients suffering from cardiovascular disease in Wales.
Dr Protty started his specialist cardiology training after being appointed to the Wales Clinical Academic Track (WCAT) scheme in 2015. As part of this scheme, Dr Protty developed links with the Cardiff Lipidomics group (Prof Valerie O'Donnell/Prof Peter Collins) and successfully applied to the Wellcome Trust GW4CAT scheme to pursue a PhD degree (Awarded 2021).
Continuing on the WCAT scheme as a clnical academic cardiology registrar, Dr Protty's post-doctoral activities focus on the role of procoagulant phospholipids in arterial thrombosis with the aim of identifying novel anti-thrombotic therapeutic targets to improve the care of patients with cardiovascular disease.
