Michael Newton Marsh

Professor Michael Newton Marsh, DM, DSc, DPhil, FRCP read medicine at Magdalen College, Oxford and became an academic biomedical research physician in Manchester.

Career

In 2006 he received a Distinguished Investigator Award for his work on gluten intolerance (coeliac disease) and his classification of the intestinal responses which are now internationally adopted.[1] A second lifetime achievement award was conferred on Professor Marsh.

While approaching retirement he took an Oxford degree in Theology, subsequently returning to Magdalen to write a D.Phil thesis on neurophysiological and theological approaches to near-death and out-of-body experiential phenomenology. He is now at Wolfson College and, in addition, a Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Christianity and Culture at Regent's Park College, University of Oxford.
