Background

Stephan is a PCDT and PIMART-qualified pharmacist with a MMed degree in clinical pharmacy, and an MSc and PhD in neuropharmacology. His research focuses on the role that mitochondrial (dys)function plays in mood disorders, specifically from a neurodevelopmental point of view, and how mitochondrial enhancing interventions can address this supposed deficit.

He is an experienced pharmacology lecturer, with retail experience that enables him to translate these principles into practical and clinically relevant scenarios. Lecturing experience has given him the confidence and knowledge to address larger audiences on aspects of antimicrobial drugs and topics related to his research interests.
