Nina is an MRC Clinician Scientist, most recently hosted at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology and AstraZeneca Neuroscience, Cambridge. Having studied Physiology (Edinburgh) and Veterinary Medicine (Cambridge), Nina was awarded a Wellcome Clinical Fellowship to undertake doctoral research and specialist training in Edinburgh; her PhD explored hypothermic preconditioning in human neural systems. Nina’s current work addresses the interaction between brain temperature and the neural molecular clock, and how this might inform new treatments for brain disorders. Leading the Circadian Brain Temperature (CiBraT) Study, Nina established the first 4D map of human brain temperature (HEATWAVE), identifying a daily rhythm in brain temperature as the strongest single predictor of survival after traumatic brain injury. Combining physiology and biological timekeeping, Nina is Chief Investigator for the APEX 6 RESET trial (ISRCTN76074900) and APEX 7 HiCORT Study. In 2024, she completed a one-year secondment to AstraZeneca Neuroscience (AZ-MRC Industry Partnership for Academic Clinicians) before coordinating the Cambridge Precision Health Strategic Research Initiative and Co-Founding the Cambridge Wearables Innovation Forum in 2025. Passionate about training the next generation of clinician-scientists, Nina supervises undergraduate Physiology at St John's and Queens' Colleges, Cambridge and undertakes Scientific Reasoning Admissions Interviews for Cambridge MVST and NST courses. She is Non-Executive Director & Clinical Advisor for SomNyx (www.somnyx.ai), Co-Founder of the non-profit research network BioClocks UK, and serves on the BSAVA PetSavers Grant Awarding Committee. Nina is a Trustee and Management Committee Member of the medical research charity Altitude Physiology Expeditions (APEX), and an Advisory Board Member of the BBSRC CircadiAgeing sLoLa and the Mental Health and Body Clock Priority Setting Partnership.
