Dr. Morag Young is the Research Group Head at the Cardiovascular Endocrinology Centre and a leading authority in endocrinology and metabolism, focusing on hormones and mineralocorticoid receptor signaling mechanisms in cardiovascular disease. She completed her CJ Martin Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Baker Institute of Medical Research and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, USA. Her studies on SF-1 null mice have contributed to understanding how steroid hormones function in the brain and their role in leptin signaling. Dr. Young has returned from her doctoral work on cardiac remodeling under the mentorship of Professor John Funder and has established the Cardiovascular Endocrinology Laboratory since 2005. Her significant research has identified that mineralocorticoid receptor activation in the heart drives cardiac fibrosis and inflammation, leading to heart failure. She has validated large clinical trials on the use of MR antagonists while minimizing significant renal side effects. Dr. Young has received numerous grants and high-profile awards, including the NHMRC/INSERM training fellowship and the Novartis New Investigator Award. Her expertise contributes to research related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. She also serves as a Senior Editor for prominent endocrinology journals and has held various editorial positions in academic publishing.
