Kev Dhaliwal, MBChB (Hons), BSc (Hons), PhD, FRCP is a Professor of Molecular Imaging and Healthcare Technology at the University of Edinburgh and a Consultant Physician in Respiratory Medicine.[1] Dhaliwal was appointed Interim Director of the Edinburgh Futures Institute in November 2023.[2][3] He is the chair of Molecular Imaging & Healthcare Technology.[4]
Education and career
[edit]Kev Dhaliwal graduated from the University of Edinburgh and trained as a medical student at the Old Royal Infirmary. His first medical role was in the Surgical Corridor, which is now part of the Edinburgh Futures Institute. He completed his general professional training in London. He returned to Edinburgh to conduct research with the Lung Inflammation Group. During his Ph.D., he developed partnerships across various disciplines to translate ideas into human trials and collaborate with industry to commercialize his research.[2]
Dhaliwal's research focuses on developing technologies in data, diagnostics, devices, and drugs. He works closely with industry and partners in India, advocating for interdisciplinary collaboration to translate research into patient-centered healthcare. His clinical practice is based at the New Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and the Healthcare Technology Accelerator Facility, aimed at accelerating the clinical and commercial application of healthcare technologies.[2][5]
At the University of Edinburgh, Dhaliwal leads the Translational Healthcare Technologies Group, which explores new technologies to advance respiratory medicine and critical care. He is a Senior Clinical Lecturer in Pulmonary Molecular Imaging at the MRC Centre for Inflammation Research and has served as chief investigator on several clinical trials related to optical imaging.[6][7]
He also leads the Proteus Project, a large healthcare biophotonics project focusing on pulmonary molecular imaging.[6] As part of this initiative, researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University developed a camera capable of seeing through the human body. This technology is designed to be used at the patient's bedside, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions.[8][9] It can precisely locate an endoscope's position through up to 20 cm of human tissue and is sensitive enough to detect individual photons, allowing for improved diagnostics at the patient’s bedside.[10][11]
He is serving as an Interim Director of the Edinburgh Futures Institute since November 2023.[12] He is also the co-director of Baillie Gifford Pandemic Science Hub.[3] He serves as the Chief Investigator on six first-in-human trials of optical molecular imaging reagents and devices, which are used for diagnosing bacterial infections, inflammation, and cancer.[13]
In 2014, Dhaliwal co-founded Edinburgh Molecular Imaging (EMI), a company developing optical molecular imaging for cancer detection and surgical guidance. He is serving as a board director of Codebase and the medical school lead for the OPTIMA Centre for Doctoral Training in Optical Medical Imaging.[6]
Honours and awards
[edit]Kev Dhaliwal awarded an international grant of £0.9 million for a major initiative aimed at accelerating pre-clinical product development in the area of antibiotic-resistant infections.[14] He was awarded the Combined Royal Colleges Medal for his outstanding contribution to the advancement and application of medical photography and medical imaging in 2018.[15]
