Nina is an MRC Clinician Scientist Fellow, 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 RESET trial (ISRCTN76074900) testing a novel intervention to treat jetlag and improve sleep in the context of high altitude hypoxia. In 2024, she completed a one-year secondment to AstraZeneca Neuroscience (AZ-MRC Industry Partnership for Academic Clinicians) and is currently Coordinator of the Precision Health Strategic Research Initiative at the University of Cambridge. Nina also supervises undergraduate Physiology at St John's College, Cambridge; she is Co-Founder of the non-profit research network BioClocks UK, and serves on the BSAVA PetSavers Grant Awarding Committee, Altitude Physiology Expeditions (APEX) Management Committee, the BBSRC CircadiAgeing sLoLa Advisory Board, and the Mental Health and Body Clock Priority Setting Partnership.
