BIOS

Prof Mashiko Setshedi

Head and Chair | Division of Medical Gastroenterology

Mashiko joined UCT in 2005 initially as a clinical research fellow, and subsequently as a gastroenterology registrar. Between 2009 and 2011 she was at Brown University studying towards her PhD entitled “Impairments in signaling cascades mediating the progression of liver disease from chronic hepatitis to hepatocellular carcinoma in animal and human models”.

Upon her return to UCT she worked as a specialist consultant and educator in the Department of Medicine, building a large teaching portfolio mainly at undergraduate level where she has served as a convenor, tutor and examiner in both the Departments of Medicine and Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. In 2015 she was awarded the Oxford Nuffield Medical Scholarship and spent two and a half years at Oxford University on a post- doctoral fellowship in Immunology. She returned in May 2018 to assume her current role as the St Anne’s Chair and Head of Medical Gastroenterology at Groote Schuur Hospital/UCT. She is actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and examinations (internally, nationally and internationally) and co-convenes the IBD and GIT Fellows’ Teaching GECHO modules, with the support of the Gastroenterology Foundation of South Africa.

Her current research interest is Helicobacter pylori infection, and she supervises Masters and PhD projects related to this. Amongst other department and university committee roles she is the current General-Secretary and President-elect of the African Helicobacter and Microbiota Study Group (AHMSG), African representative of the Healthy Stomach Initiative, regional advisor for the Colleges of Medicine of Edinburgh and a council member of the South African Gastroenterology Society (SAGES).

Dr Daemon McClunan

Specialist Ophthalmologist

Dr Daemon McClunan’s achievements seek to challenge the frontiers of ophthalmic research and development. Dr McClunan is accoladed amongst his peers for being the youngest member to serve on the South African Glaucoma Society committee, the founder of LIQID MEDICAL Pty - a multi award winning ophthalmic biotechnology company, and the creator of four patented devices.

Dr McClunan received the Geoff Howes and Ophthalmic society medals while in specialist training at Groote Schuur Hospital. Medals of the highest prestige; awarded to the candidate with the highest examination results. He further holds distinctions with his medical degree

(MBChB) obtained from Stellenbosch University in 2009, and his Masters in Medicine (MMed) for his surgical technique.

On a humanitarian note, Dr McClunan joined a non-profit cause during his community year to tackle the harsh Southern African terrain by motorbike, travelling over 15,000km with his expedition team to carry out rural eye screenings amongst the poorer communities. These days, owing to a demanding work schedule, his philanthropic efforts extend mainly to free eye screenings for family members. In his leisure time, Dr McClunan enjoys hiking, diving, and kitesurfing and prioritises spending quality time with his wife and new born son.

Dr McClunan’s dedication to his field of expertise is further cemented by international observership experience in Glaucoma and Advanced Cataract surgery from the Prism Eye Institute in Toronto as well as in Glaucoma surgery from the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne.

While Dr McClunan treats many eye conditions, he specialises in advanced cataract surgery with expert skills in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.
