Robert Maidstone

I am a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester, part of Dr. Hannah Durrington’s research group.

My recent work uses computational techniques to explore the relationships between the circadian clock and disease. In particular looking at the effect of disruption to the circadian system, for example through shift working, has on health.

Currently, I am funded by Asthma & Lung UK.

I co-lead the Research IT Computation and Data in Research (CaDiR) UoM UK Biobank Users community. I’m a research scholar with Our Future Health.
