Professor Adrian Martineau, B Med Sci DTM&H MRCP PhD FRSBClinical Professor of Respiratory Infection and Immunity Centre: Blizard InstituteEmail: a.martineau@qmul.ac.uk Telephone: 020 7882 2551 ProfileTeachingResearchPublicationsProfileAdrian gained a B Med Sci degree in Epidemiology and Public Health from Newcastle University in 1995, and graduated from Newcastle Medical School in the following year. He then gained a Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene from Liverpool University before working as a Medical Officer in South Africa. He returned to Liverpool to continue medical training in 1999, and became a member of the Royal College of Physicians in 2001. Adrian joined Queen Mary as a lecturer in Respiratory Medicine in 2002, and established a programme of laboratory and clinical research into the immunomodulatory actions of vitamin D in tuberculosis. He received his PhD in 2010, and is currently conducting clinical trials of vitamin D supplementation to prevent respiratory infections and non-communicable diseases in the UK, South Africa and Mongolia. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology in 2017.
