Anthony Whetton

Anthony Whetton is a Professor of Translational Biosystems at the University of Surrey's School of Veterinary Medicine. His research focuses on proteomics, lipidomics, and biomarker discovery across multiple disease areas, including cancer, kidney disease, and chronic conditions. Key projects include leveraging AI-driven approaches to analyze dietary patterns and health outcomes, developing non-invasive diagnostic tools for endometrial cancer, and identifying proteomic signatures predictive of renal disease progression. He collaborates extensively with interdisciplinary teams to translate molecular findings into clinical applications.

Research interests span translational medicine, with particular emphasis on protein and lipid networks in pathophysiology. Recent work highlights include discoveries in JAK2-mutated myeloproliferative neoplasms, mechanisms of complement system dysregulation in rheumatic heart disease, and the role of HOXA9 in acute myeloid leukemia. His lab employs cutting-edge techniques like SWATH-MS and single-cell lipidomics to uncover actionable biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Publications emphasize clinical relevance, such as studies demonstrating the association between plant-based meat alternatives and cardiovascular risks in vegetarians, and proteomic insights into kidney function decline. Awards and grants supporting his work include funding from Cancer Research UK and the National Institute for Health Research.
