News
Dr Louise Marryat, of the University’s School of Health Sciences, has been named a recipient of a UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Future Leaders Fellowship. Dr Marryat, who is based at the University’s campus in Kirkcaldy, will utilise the award to study the health and development of children who are exposed to a variety of opioids before birth. Working in partnership with women who use opioids, the study will utilise routinely collected medical data to examine the pathways impacted youngsters take through childhood. It is hoped that a better understanding of these young people will allow their support networks, including families, clinicians, social workers, and teachers, to support them more effectively.
