Dr Matt Hindle

Senior Lecturer

Dr. Matt Hindle is a senior lecturer on the Biomedical Science programmes. He teaches across this portfolio and supervises projects. His areas of research expertise include platelet biology, flow cytometry and cell signalling.

Dr. Matt Hindle joined the biomedical science team at Leeds Beckett University in 2023 as a senior lecturer. He completed an IBMS accredited BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science from Nottingham Trent University in 2013, then spent time working in teaching and clinical laboratories before completing a MSc in Infection Biology from the University of Glasgow in 2016.

Subsequently, he completed his PhD studies on diverse platelet functions measured by fluorescent flow cytometry in 2019 at the University of Leeds. Following this, he was a British Heart Foundation funded postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Leeds, focusing on platelet bioenergetics and fatty-acid metabolism.

Research Interests

Matt’s principal goal is understanding the roles of platelets in the progression of disease. This includes the direct actions of platelets, such as thrombosis, but also explores their participation in multi-cellular responses, for example the recruitment of monocytes during inflammation.

Matt is experienced in working with patient and translational samples giving his research clear impact. He is an experienced platelet biologist and has focused his career on the application of cutting-edge flow cytometry to analyse platelet function in health & disease.
