Melanie Fleming awarded Stroke Association Senior Non-Clinical Lectureship

Many congratulations to MRC CoRE Leadership Team member Associate Professor Melanie Fleming on being awarded a prestigious Senior Non-Clinical Lectureship by the Stroke Association.

The Stroke Association Lectureship programme aims to address succession and sustainability in the careers of stroke researchers. Senior Lectureship awards provide secure and stable long-term funding for researchers to lead their own research programmes and establish their independent careers.

Melanie will start her 5-year Senior Lectureship in January 2026.

Melanie commented: “I am very grateful for this opportunity to build my research group, and to be able to work together with people with lived experience of stroke to develop a tailored sleep intervention for this condition.”

MRC CoRE Director Professor Peter Magill commented: “We are thrilled for Melanie. This award is richly deserved. Melanie is an outstanding researcher, and a valued colleague and collaborator. Her scientific vision brilliantly complements the MRC CoRE’s discovery and translational research portfolios.”
