Pharmacology Fellows
The Department of Pharmacology has a growing number of fellows working in the Department, both early career and more senior post. We are committed to helping our staff to develop by supporting them to achieve their own independent fellowships, and are also happy to host successful fellows who wish to move from other Institutions.

I find Neuroscience research to be fascinating at all levels. I think using neuropharmacology to induce changes in neuronal activity and then observe its effect on behavior is very exciting. I also think we are so far from grasping the complexity of the brain that there are so many discoveries yet to be made.

Like many in my field I am motivated by the possibility that my work may lead to the development of novel drugs that will improve people’s lives. Fortunately, I’m in a department with a strong track record in spinning out successful companies.like many in my field I am motivated by the possibility that my work may lead to the development of novel drugs that will improve people’s lives.

I’m particularly inspired by the thought that, one day, my research could lead to new ways to treat cardiac diseases. This possibility motivates me to keep pushing forward, knowing that the work I’m doing could make a difference in people’s lives.

My advice? Get as much senior advice and mentoring as you can, but choose the elements that work for you, your personality and situation. Everyone and every journey is unique – don’t try and fit yourself into someone else’s shoes.
