About Professor Mark Evans
I am a Principal Investigator and Professor of Diabetic Medicine at the Institute of Metabolic Science-Metabolic Research Laboratories and Honorary Consultant Physician at the Wolfson Diabetes Endocrine Clinic at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Project/study information
Our current research looks at:
- how brain detects changes in blood glucose and how this interacts with peripheral metabolism
- how defences against hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) may become abnormal in diabetes
- the effects of episodes of hypoglycaemia on brain
- new and innovative technology for monitoring and managing diabetes, including closed loop insulin pump systems (the “artificial pancreas”)
Recruitment of postgraduate students and research staff
Training graduate students for a scientific career is a priority at the IMS-MRL. We have a mixture of both basic science students and clinical trainees and aim to provide everyone with a supportive, stimulating research and learning environment. We offer Funded PhD programmes, a PhD in Clinical Biochemistry and a full-time taught MPhil in Obesity, Endocrinology & Metabolism.
