Dr McIntyre is now Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics and Medical Biophysics. He is the inaugural holder of the Robert Lindsay Chair of Dialysis Research and Innovation at the University of Western Ontario.

He leads a team of 25 multidisciplinary researchers focused largely on the pathophysiology of dialysis and the effects on cardiovascular, brain, liver and gastro-intestinal structure and function. These studies have increasingly focused on the adverse consequences resulting from dialysis therapy itself and the improvement in outcomes by the reduction of preventable harm.
