Professor Bruce McManus is internationally renowned for his expertise in cardiovascular pathology and in mechanisms of human diseases. His laboratory was the first to demonstrate the extent and nature of lipid overload in the arteries of the transplanted heart that led to lipid-lowering strategies which have improved heart transplant survival. He was also the first in the world to draw attention to coxsackievirus replication, rather than the immune response to the virus, as the mechanism responsible for viral cardiomyopathy. He has also led the world in applying basic discoveries to the diagnosis of heart disease using endomyocardial biopsy.
