Roland Stimson is a Professor at the University of Edinburgh, specializing in Endocrinology and obesity-associated metabolic disease. He completed his medical undergraduate training in Edinburgh in 2001 and subsequently undertook a PhD focusing on glucocorticoid metabolism in obesity. In 2013, he completed his clinical training and was awarded an MRC Clinician Scientist fellowship, followed by a Scottish Senior Clinical Academic fellowship in 2018, emphasizing the regulation of brown adipose tissue activation and its role in cardiometabolic health. His research is concentrated on determining safe methods to increase energy expenditure and explores the mechanisms regulating human brown adipose tissue. Stimson has made significant contributions to understanding the differences in regulation of adipose tissue across species and uses various experimental techniques, including positron emission tomography and microdialysis, to investigate energy metabolism. His current projects involve identifying novel regulators of brown adipose tissue function and understanding the species-specific regulation of this tissue, with implications for therapeutic manipulation.
