Professor Simone Meddle will guest present in the School of Biological Sciences Friday research seminar series.

Professor Simone Meddle is a Personal Chair of Behavioural Neuroendocrinology within the Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh.

Simone is also a Group Leader at the Roslin Institute and the Deputy Head of the Neurobiology Division.  She leads a research group funded by the BBSRC, NSF, The Leverhulme trust and The Royal Society that investigates how environmental and social cues can trigger functionally important behaviours such as response to stress, food intake, reproduction, photoperiodism and aggression by examining the neuroendocrine system. She is also investigating the neurobiology of positive welfare (environmental enrichmentment) and behaviour.
