R Neely

Dr. R Neely is a researcher affiliated with Newcastle University specializing in lipid metabolism, hepatitis C virus (HCV) pathogenesis, and cardiovascular disease. With over two decades of publications, their work bridges molecular virology and clinical cardiology, focusing on HCV-lipid interactions, dyslipidemia diagnostics, and lipid-lowering therapies.

• Key Research Areas: HCV-associated lipid disorders, lipoviral particles, cardiovascular risk biomarkers, and lipid metabolism regulation.
• Contributions: Co-authored consensus guidelines on lipoprotein(a) testing, developed diagnostic protocols for dysbetalipoproteinemia, and investigated telomere biology in elderly coronary patients.
• Collaborations: Frequently works with experts in cardiology (Prof. Vijay Kunadian), endocrinology (Dr. Richard Quinton), and virology (Dr. David Sheridan, Dr. Simon Bridge) across UK institutions.
