Training
Dr Hind qualified at King’s College London in 1995. He trained in general and respiratory medicine at the Royal Free, Hammersmith, St Mary’s, St George’s and Royal Brompton Hospitals.
He was a Wellcome Trust Clinical Training Fellow looking at the role of retinoids in lung development and regeneration in Professor Malcolm Maden’s laboratory at the MRC Centre for Developmental Neurobiology at Guy’s Campus, King’s College London.
Specialist lung expertise
Dr Hind has subsequent Wellcome Trust funding to investigate lung structure maintenance programmes. He is lead for stem and regenerative therapies for the advanced lung diseases unit, a partnership between Royal Brompton and Imperial College, funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
He has also established a lung regeneration laboratory at the National Heart and Lung Institue (NHLI) to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of lung patterning, development and regeneration. Dr Hind offers a tertiary service for patients with lung failure, sleep and ventilation disorders and advanced COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
Awards
He has been recognised for his work with awards from the British Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society.
