David Waters

About

Recipient of the Lung Foundation Australia’s David Wilson PhD Scholarship.

David was a PhD student at the University of Newcastle researching idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. After completing an undergraduate degree in London studying Genetics & Molecular Biology, which included a year working in industry, he relocated to Australia to work in Prof Darryl Knight’s lab at the Hunter Medical Research Institute.

His research interests are centred on cellular senescence in IPF pathogenesis. David was the grateful recipient of the LFA’s David Wilson Scholarship. This funding enabled David to present work at both TSANZ and ATS. 

Upon completion of his PhD David gained employment at the French Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) where he continued to research IPF, and also allergic diseases. He has since moved to industry.
