About Luke

Dr. Luke Wilson serves as a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Medicine at the Dunedin School of Medicine, University of Otago, within the Faculty of Medicine, Health Sciences Division. He holds a PhD and specializes in integrative human physiology, with a primary focus on cerebro-, cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurophysiology. His research examines physiological responses in both healthy individuals under resting conditions and imposed stressors such as exercise, mental stress, and thermal challenges, as well as in patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. As a member of the Kidney in Health and Disease research group, Wilson contributes to studies aimed at preventing and treating kidney disease, including investigations into the effects of lithium on renal function, therapeutic targets for polycystic kidney disease, dietary-induced obesity and metabolic syndrome, clinical renal trials, renal function during high-performance exercise, and the progression of renal disease. He also explores innovative markers for early acute renal failure to enable timely interventions before irreversible damage occurs.
