Prof. Marc Stefan Dawid-Milner received his Ph.D. from the University of Navarra. He is a Specialist in the Autonomic Nervous System. He is now the professor of human physiology and director of the Department of Human Physiology, Human Histology, Pathology, and Physical and Sports Education at the University of Malaga. He is also the Director of the Unit of Neurophysiology of the Autonomic Nervous System of the Medical-Health Research Center (Centro de Investigaciones Médico Sanitarias-CIMES-) of the University of Málaga and the President of the Spanish Society of Autonomic Nervous System (SESNA) and member of the Board of the European Federation of Autonomic Nervous System (EFAS). He is Teaching Human Physiology to first and second-year medical students, Neurophysiological Basis of Human Behaviour to third-year medical students, and Neurophysiology of the Autonomic Nervous System to fifth-year medical students in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Malaga. He is the Director of the Ph.D. Program "Neuroscience and its Clinical Applications". His research includes two areas of the neurophysiology of the autonomic nervous system: (1) Basic research on central cardiorespiratory control and (2) Clinical application research on the development of new technologies for the assessment of autonomic nervous system function.
