Greg Findlay, Principal Investigator in the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit (MRC PPU), has been promoted to Reader. Greg’s team aims to understand how dysregulated cell communication causes neurodevelopmental disorders that lead to intellectual disability and other problems. By unravelling how these signaling systems are wired, Greg’s team hope to identify new ways to treat patients with these devastating conditions.

Greg is co-chair of the School of Life Sciences (SLS) equality, diversity and inclusion committee and of the SLS junior faculty mentorship program. Through these roles, Greg aims to help SLS maintain the highest standards in professional and research culture.

Greg said: “I’m very grateful to the University of Dundee for this promotion. My readership recognizes the achievements of my fantastically talented team, who have made important contributions in a very challenging research area over the last 5 years. I’d also like to thank my colleagues throughout the MRC PPU and SLS for their fantastic support.

Prof Dario Alessi, Director of the MRC-PPU, said “I would like to congratulate Greg on his richly deserved promotion to Reader. He is undertaking bold research to understand how signaling pathways link to intellectual disability, a major and understudied mental health problem, affecting up to 3% of people. We wish Greg and his team all the best with this vital research.”
