Duncan completed his PhD under the supervision of Prof Kev Dhaliwal at the University of Edinburgh in 2015, investigating the mechanisms driving pulmonary inflammation following traumatic brain injury. As a postdoc he continued his research interests in the field of acute and chronic tissue injury & inflammation before joining Proteus in August 2019 to develop novel imaging technologies using the Human Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) model. In February 2020, Duncan started a new collaboration with a large Pharmaceutical company to develop innovative in situ sampling and imaging techniques to assess respiratory airway immunity.

Outside of work, Duncan is a keen musician and enjoys spending his time cooking, cycling, skiing and playing football and golf!
