About

David Jayne is Professor of Clinical Autoimmunity at the University of Cambridge, UK, and Director of the Vasculitis and Lupus service at Addenbrookes Hospital Cambridge. He trained at the Universities of Cambridge and London, and in nephrology at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA. He was a research fellow at Imperial College London and the University of Cambridge and was appointed Senior Lecturer in Nephrology at St George’s Hospital, London in 1995.

He is a co-founder and the current President of the European Vasculitis Society and his research focus has been ANCA vasculitis and lupus nephritis, having led a sequence of International randomised controlled trials over the last 25 years. His research group conducts first into disease trials of newer immunosuppressives and biologics in vasculitis and lupus. He has published over 500 peer reviewed papers and has contributed to numerous guideline statements. His work with industry has contributed to the approval of avacopan for ANCA associated vasculitis and voclosporin for lupus nephritis. The clinical service in Cambridge cares for over 2000 patients with complex multi-system autoimmunity and receives tertiary referrals from throughout the UK and beyond. In 2021 he was awarded the ERA-EDTA prize for outstanding contributions to nephrology.
