Lab Members

Our research group is based within the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland. Our research primarily focuses on calcium signalling in the vascular endothelium and understanding how changes in the way this vital layer of cells communicates with the underlying smooth muscle to regulate vascular function. This is of particular interest as this communication breaks down during disease states such as hypertension and diabetes.

Our group is composed of individuals with backgrounds ranging from physics and engineering to the biosciences, allowing us to take a wide-ranging multi disciplinary approach to our work which has been deservedly rewarded with a number of prizes and awards.
