معرفی
Dr. Morag Mansley is a Lecturer in the School of Medicine at the University of St Andrews, affiliated with the Cellular Medicine Division. Her research focuses on understanding molecular mechanisms of hormonal control of ion transport in the distal nephron, particularly sodium transport via the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). Combining electrophysiology and molecular techniques, her work examines receptor signaling, ion transport modulation, and disease-related dysregulation. She supervises PhD students Etang Collins Etang and Morag Milne. Dr. Mansley holds a PhD from the University of Dundee and a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Aberdeen. She is an Editorial Board member of The Journal of Physiology and serves on the American Physiological Society’s Epithelial Transport Group Steering Committee.
Her research has been supported by grants including a Royal Society-funded project (2022–2023) investigating corticosteroid-induced transport mechanisms. Key contributions include studies on glucocorticoid action in kidney cells, prostaglandin regulation of ENaC, and proteasome inhibitor effects on renal physiology. She has published widely in journals like American Journal of Physiology and Journal of General Physiology, with a focus on renal epithelial cell biology and ion transport pathways.

Dr. Mansley’s lab explores renal electrolyte homeostasis, linking molecular mechanisms to hypertension and electrolyte disorders. Her collaborative projects include transcriptomic analyses of corticosteroid effects in kidney cells, published in Kidney360 (2022).
