My interest is in cardiovascular imaging.Mmacmill@exseed.ed.ac.uk Dr Don Mahad Senior Clinical Research FellowMy research in clinical and basic science aspects of progressive multiple sclerosis focuses on energy status in the central nervous system and targeting it in clinical trials.Don.Mahad@ed.ac.uk Dr Grant Mair Senior Clinical Academic Fellow in NeuroradiologyI am interested in how we can improve imaging for patients with stroke.Grant.Mair@ed.ac.uk Dr Katie Marwick Senior Clinical Research Fellow in PsychiatryI work as a doctor and researcher to improve the lives of women with severe mental health problems affected by changes in sex hormone levels.Katie.Marwick@ed.ac.ukImage credit: stablediffusionweb.com Dr Gianfranco Matrone Chancellor's FellowMy lab investigates the molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular development and regeneration to find new therapies to treat cardiovascular diseases.Gianfranco.Matrone@ed.ac.uk Dr Barry McColl Senior Research FellowWe investigate how immune cells support brain health and influence what happens after brain injury and in long-term brain disease.Barry.McColl@ed.ac.uk Professor Andrew McIntosh Chair of Biological PsychiatryI study the causes and causal consequences of depression and related disorders using genomic and data science approaches.Andrew.Mcintosh@ed.ac.uk Dr Andrew McKechanie Senior Clinical Research FellowMy research interests primarily relate to intellectual disabilities, the autism spectrum and related neurodevelopmental disorders.Andrew.Mckechanie@ed.ac.uk Professor Dave McLean Personal Chair of Neural Development and BehaviourWe are interested in how neuronal networks in the developing brain and spinal cord generate complex movements.Dmclean3@ed.ac.uk Professor Mark R. Miller Personal Chair of the Environment and HealthAir pollution doesn’t just affect our lungs, it also damages our heart, circulation, brain and many other organs. Our research explores how and why.Mark.Miller@ed.ac.uk Dr Eve Miller-Hodges Senior Clinical Lecturer in Inherited Metabolic DisordersI am a kidney and metabolic disease doctor using biomarkers, data & bioengineering to reduce cardiovascular risk and design treatments for rare disorders.Eve.Miller-hodges@ed.ac.uk Professor Nicholas Mills Personal Chair of CardiologyWe aim to use healthcare data in Scotland to develop new approaches for diagnosis and risk stratification in heart disease and evaluate their impact.Nick.Mills@ed.ac.uk Dr James Minchin Senior LecturerWe study how the brain and body fat regulate metabolic health and what goes wrong in disease.James.Minchin@ed.ac.uk Dr Rory Mitchell Senior LecturerWe study mechanisms of intracellular signalling from receptors and their role in psychiatric disorders and neuropathic pain hypersensitivity.Rory.Mitchell@ed.ac.uk Dr Tijana Mitić Academic Track Lecturer in Integrative Biomedical SciencesOur Lab investigates non-coding RNAs and epigenetics regulation of cardiovascular gene expression, using functional genomics and genome engineering.Tijana.Mitic@ed.ac.uk Dr Axel Montagne Senior LecturerOur research explores how breakdown of the brain’s microvasculature and blood-brain barrier drives neurodegeneration and dementia.Amontag2@exseed.ed.ac.ukImage credit: Montagne Lab (INCR, UK DRI, BHF-UK DRI CVDR) Professor Carmel M Moran Personal Chair of Preclinical UltrasoundWe develop and evaluate new ultrasound therapeutic and diagnostic technologies to aid clinical diagnosis.Carmel.Moran@ed.ac.uk Dr Rebecca Morrison ECAT SCREDS Clinical Lecturer in Diagnostic NeuropathologyWe use human brain tissue to study mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease such as motor neuron disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration.Rmorri3@ed.ac.uk Dr Tom Moullaali ECAT SCREDS Clinical Lecturer in NeurologyMy research focuses on emergency treatments to reduce bleeding and improve outcomes for people with a stroke due to bleeding in the brain.Tom.Moullaali@ed.ac.uk Dr Donncha Mullin Clinical Fellow // ECAT SCREDS Clinical Lecturer in PsychiatryD.Mullin@ed.ac.uk Dr Lyndsay Murray Senior Lecturer in AnatomyWe investigate the degeneration and regeneration of the motor unit.Lyndsay.Murray@ed.ac.uk Professor David Newby BHF Duke of Edinburgh Chair of CardiologyI am interested in experimental medicine, advanced imaging and clinical trials of cardiovascular disease.D.E.Newby@ed.ac.uk Dr Mark Nixon LecturerWe explore how stress hormones influence metabolism and the heart, and why this system goes wrong in obesity and during long-term steroid treatment.M.Nixon@ed.ac.uk Professor Matt Nolan Personal Chair of Neural Circuits and ComputationWe want to understand cognition and memory in terms of their underlying biological substrates and so that we can design treatments for brain disorders.Matt.Nolan@ed.ac.uk / Nolan & Sürmeli Labs This article was published on 2026-04-15
