Dr Michael G. Collins MBChB FRACP PhD is a consultant nephrologist (kidney specialist) and clinical trialist working at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. He trained in Nephrology at Auckland City Hospital, New Zealand, and the Queen Elizabeth and Royal Adelaide Hospitals in Adelaide. From 2009-2013, he completed a PhD in transplant immunology with Professor Toby Coates at the University of Adelaide, while completing a number of clinical research projects including a multi-centre study of colorectal cancer screening in kidney transplant recipients. From this time onwards, he developed a strong interest in conducting high-quality clinical research with the goal of improving outcomes for kidney transplant recipients. From 2013-2021, Dr Collins worked as a consultant nephrologist at Auckland City Hospital, in New Zealand. From 2014 to 2018, he led a cross-disciplinary research group that completed a single-centre randomised controlled trial of nutrition interventions in kidney transplant recipients. In 2016, he proposed and ultimately became the co-lead investigator for the BEST-Fluids trial, a multi-centre, pragmatic, registry-based, investigator-initiated randomised controlled trial of IV fluid therapy in kidney transplant recipients. The trial was conducted as a collaboration between the Australasian Kidney Trials Network, the ANZDATA Registry and kidney transplant hospitals, clinicians and patients at 16 hospitals in Australia and New Zealand. The primary results of this study were published in the Lancet in 2023, and are expected to influence kidney transplant clinical practice worldwide, with further studies ongoing.Dr Collins relocated to work at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in 2022 where he is a senior nephrologist in the Central Northern Adelaide Renal and Transplantation Service (CNARTS), and a titleholder (clinical senior lecturer) at the University of Adelaide. He is the Deputy Chair of the Australasian Kidney Trials Network, and an active researcher in clinical trials. His ongoing research focuses on designing and conducting the future clinical trials of peri-operative interventions in kidney transplantation that will improve outcomes for patients.
