David Burns

Dr David Burns is a researcher at Newcastle University, specializing in genetics, cell biology, and molecular medicine. His work focuses on kidney function, genetic disorders, and therapeutic strategies for diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Collaborations include studies on phosphate homeostasis, RNA exosome mutations, and zebrafish models of cardiac aging.

Research interests span kidney physiology, neurodegenerative mechanisms, and genetic mutations’ impact on cellular processes. Key projects include investigating EXOSC9’s role in cerebellar atrophy and exploring second-generation compounds for DMD treatment.

Publications highlight advancements in understanding renal phosphate transport, RNA exosome dysfunction in neurological conditions, and exercise effects on cardiomyocyte biology. No awards are listed, but his contributions include co-authorship on multiple interdisciplinary studies.
