Peter William Mathieson (; born 18 April 1959) is an English nephrologist and current vice-chancellor and president of the University of Hong Kong. He was the dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry of the University of Bristol before he assumed office at the University Hong Kong on 1 April 2014, and was previously Director of Studies at Christ's College, Cambridge.〔 ==Biography== Peter Mathieson went to school in Cornwall, then qualified in medicine with honours from London Hospital Medical College in 1983. After junior posts in and around the West End of London, he went to Cambridge as an MRC training fellow, studying for a PhD which was awarded by Cambridge University in 1992. After a further MRC-funded fellowship during which he worked on complement/immunology, Mathieson moved to Bristol in 1995 as the foundation professor of renal medicine at University of Bristol and honorary consultant nephrologist, North Bristol NHS Trust. Mathieson was elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 1999. In 2007 he was elected as the youngest ever President of the Renal Association and also became Head of the University Department of Clinical Science at North Bristol. He was also appointed as Director of Research & Development for the North Bristol NHS Trust. Between 2003 and 2007 he chaired the Research Grants Committee of Kidney Research UK (National Kidney Research Fund ). He was a member of the Renal Association Clinical Trials committee from 1996 to 2007 and its chairman between 2000 and 2003. In 2008 Peter was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. Mathieson's major clinical interest is in autoimmune renal diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, systemic vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus. His research interests are in human glomerular cell biology and regulation of glomerular permeability, and he leads the group in the Academic Renal Unit that in recent years has made significant contributions to the study of podocytes and glomerular endothelial cells, interactions between them and factors in the causation and treatment of proteinuria. The work of the group has attracted major research grant funding of about £5 million from sources including Medical Research Council, Wellcome Trust and Kidney Research UK. Mathieson was the only candidate shortlisted for the post of vice-chancellor of the University of Hong Kong, and his appointment was unanimously endorsed in a council meeting in October 2013 to assume office on 1 April 2014. However, eminent surgeon Lo Chung-mau leaked confidential discussions of the search committee, and criticised Mathieson as "ignorant, incompetent and heartless".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peter Mathieson confirmed as new head of HKU )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Who is actually destroying our system? )〕 Mathieson was the third non-Chinese vice-chancellor in the history of the university, the first being Dr Kenneth Robinson (1965–1972) and Professor William Ian Rees Davies (2000 to 2002).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doubts about expat tipped to be HKU head )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Mathieson (nephrologist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
