Biography

Dr Moran is an academic gastroenterologist with a special interest in the clinical management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. He has completed his gastroenterology training in Birmingham, UK and his PhD studies with Professor John Mclaughlin at the University of Manchester in 2011. He advanced his clinical training in Inflammatory Bowel disease by undertaking a one year advanced clinical fellowship in Inflammatory Bowel disease at the University of Calgary, Canada under the supervision of Professor Remo Panaccione. He has been appointed as an Associate Professor in Gastroenterology at the University of Nottingham in 2013.

Dr Moran's primary research aim is optimising advanced imaging techniques aimed at measuring inflammation and fibrosis in IBD. He leads the Simple Trials in Applied Research team within Nottingham Clinical trials Unit. The team specialises in delivering large pragmatic trials in primary care using routinely collected coded data sets. Together with collaborators at the University of Nottingham Dr Moran has created industry-funded large deeply phenotypes cohorts.

Dr Moran presently supervise 5 PhD students, 2 post-doctoral scientist and 2 IBD fellows. He is the academic and clinical IBD theme lead within the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre and IBD Section Committee Member for the British Society of Gastroenterology and IBD expert member for the National Institute of Health Research Trent Clinical Research Network.

Dr Moran chairs the British Society of Gastroenterology Inflammatory Bowel Disease Guideline group.

Selected Publications

· I teach undergraduate Year 1-3 medical students. This is small group teaching (5-7 students per rotation) focused on clinical, bed side teaching. These sessions are timetabled within the weekly rotation for the students.

· I am an educational supervisor for core medical trainee postgraduate students.

· I deliver a modular lecture on 'Nutrition and Cancer' to the Year 1 Medical Students, BMedSci GI theme Year 2 teaching and 'Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and its Complications' to the Year 3 students. I have outstanding feedback.

· I am a tutor on the Nottingham Medical Imaging Anatomy and Physiology Module. I deliver a session on the medical imaging of the GI system.

· I have supervised 1 MSc (Shellie Radford 2020) and 6 PhD Students (Asseel Khalaf, 2018; Gita Thapaliya, 2019; Aly Alyami, 2020; Amanda Davies, 2020; Helen Janiszewski 2021 and Jordan McGing, 2022), 3 IBD Fellows (M Pana, 2021; K Argyriou, 2019; E Simon, 2017) to completion. Dr E Simon is now a Professor of Gastroenterology and Head of Department of Gastroenterology at the Christian Medical College, Vellore, India.

· I presently supervise 5 PhD students, 2 IBD Fellows. I am personal tutor to 6 junior medical students since 2020.

· I have been a BMedSci examiner to 3 projects with the last 2 being in 2022.

· I deliver regular teaching sessions to Specialist Gastroenterology Trainees as part of the East Midlands Training Program.

I have thoroughly improved my teaching style. My teaching sessions for Year 1 Medical students initially were focused on clinical examination. Following feedback from the medical students (see specific comments below) I adapted my sessions to address their specific request of trying to integrate the knowledge gained in their pre-clinical years with clinical problem solving. I did this by changing my lesson plan and asking the students to bring case histories to each session. Each history was de-constructed and we created interactive sessions to link pathophysiology of disease to diagnosis, treatment and management. In addition, I have incorporated different styles using role play, to make the session more dynamic. This transformed the sessions from didactic teaching to interactive tutorials. This proved to be popular with the students and has resulted in excellent feedback for the sessions. Overall, my teaching abilities have spanned all the way from bed−side teaching to being academic program director for postgraduate research in the Nottingham National Institute of Health Research Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR BRC, a research collaboration between the University of Nottingham and Nottingham University Hospitals funded through an NIHR £23.3M grant in 2022) and Translational Medical Sciences within the School of Medicine. My skills have been developed and honed down to individual necessities and large group leadership making me an excellent teacher that befits my occupation.

I have organized, funded and hosted the four Nottingham IBD Masterclass in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2020. This is a 1-day long-industry sponsored IBD focused symposium that is aimed at practicing gastroenterology consultants, IBD nurses and senior gastroenterology trainees. The speakers are both UK-based and international with sessions focused at providing the latest evidence-based focus on common clinical problems in IBD. The attendance at the last Nottingham IBD masterclass approached 150 attendants with attendees travelling from all over the UK. The Masterclass is endorsed by the Royal College of Physicians (5 CPD points), the British Society of Gastroenterology and the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre.

Past Research

Enteroendocrine peptides in Crohn's disease. This was the preliminary work which served as ground to initial research themes. This published work has shown an increase in tissue and postprandial plasma levels in key enteroendocrine peptides. These findings correlated to key patient symptoms.

As an Advanced IBD Fellow in Calgary, CANADA, IDr Moran completed a number of medium-large cohort studies identifying clinical biomarkers that predict patient outcomes after medical therapy.

Future Research

Future research will be focused on large pragmatic trials, well phenotyped cohorts and expanding the translational aspect of the advanced imaging portfolio of his research group.
