Biography
Paul Newey is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Dundee and Honorary NHS Consultant in Endocrinology & Diabetes at Ninewells Hospital & Medical School. He trained in Edinburgh and Oxford, undertaking his DPhil in molecular genetics in the field of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN). His main areas of interest are in understanding the molecular and genetic basis of endocrine disorders including pituitary and parathyroid tumours. He is a co-author of the international guidelines for the management of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and has considerable clinical experience in the management of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs).
Research Interest
Dr Newey’s research primarily aims to understand the genetic basis of endocrine diseases. In particular, he is interested in identifying families with inherited endocrine disorders in an attempt to establish their genetic origin. He is also interested in understanding the contribution of rare genetic variants in disease predisposition by combining clinical and genetic information. Recently, Dr Newey has developed a programme of work examining disorders associated with aberrant prolactin signalling and aims to understand the role of the prolactin receptor in such conditions.
