Dr. Scott MacKenzie is a Lecturer in Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health at the University of Glasgow. His research investigates adrenal production of aldosterone and cortisol, examining how genetic variation influences steroid regulation and contributes to hypertension. He employs translational approaches combining laboratory analysis, tissue studies, and clinical investigations.
Research focuses on:
- Genetic regulation of steroid hormone production
- MicroRNAs in aldosterone production and action
- Diagnostic applications of circulating microRNAs
- Hypertension mechanisms and subtypes
- Adrenal-gene interactions in cardiovascular disease
His recent publications explore machine learning approaches for hypertension subtyping using miRNA profiles. Articles demonstrate integration of molecular biology with computational methods for disease classification.
Dr. MacKenzie collaborates with researchers internationally and has received funding from the European Union, Chief Scientist Office, and British Heart Foundation. He contributes to postgraduate teaching in Clinical Pharmacology and Cardiovascular Sciences programmes.
