David Stott

Professor David Stott is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health, University of Glasgow. His research focuses on cardiovascular genetics, metabolic disorders, and aging-related conditions such as cognitive decline, stroke, and endocrine dysfunction. He has contributed to studies on thyroid function genetics, coagulation factors, and clinical trials evaluating interventions in elderly populations.

Research Interests: His work spans cardiology, gerontology, endocrinology, and neurology, with a focus on translating genetic insights into clinical practice. Key areas include the genetic basis of cardiovascular traits, the impact of subclinical hypothyroidism in older adults, and the role of inflammation in cognitive decline.

Recent Work: Recent studies include genetic analyses of coagulation factors (Factor VIII), thyroid hormone therapy effects, and the relationship between body weight variability and cognitive health in aging populations. His collaborative work involves large consortia like HERMES and STROKOG, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches.

Grants & Collaborations: While specific grants are not detailed, his involvement in clinical trials (e.g., TRUST trial on thyroid hormone therapy) and large-scale genomic studies highlights active research collaborations.

Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the School’s research groups, contributing to projects on metabolic health and cardiovascular genomics. His work bridges clinical practice and translational research in geriatric medicine.
