Research Interests
My field of expertise is G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-dependent regulation of cardiovascular function with particular interest in proteinase-activated receptors (PARs) and purinergic P2Y receptor families. My research involves investigating the molecular mechanisms of GPCR, gap junction and damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) in the processes that underpin platelet function, cardiovascular inflammation and anti-cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity.
I currently co-lead the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases research group with Dr Susan Currie.
Professional Activities
Projects
In support of the World Congress in Basic and Clinical Pharmacology meeting (WCP2023) which will take place in Glasgow (SEC) from 2nd to 7th July 2023, the network group have organised an International Union of Pharmacology (IUPHAR) Education Satellite Meeting with support from the British Pharmacological Society.
This will take place on 1st and 2nd July 2023 at University of Strathclyde in Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences (SIPBS).
The program will provide opportunities to meet and network with international colleagues, and engage in workshops, panel discussions, and oral presentations covering a broad range of pharmacology education topics.
We have already achieved our first aim – to produce a consensus list of core concepts of pharmacology education. We are now working together to develop approaches to teaching and assessing these concepts within transformative concept-based curricula.
IUPHAR education section endorsed and adopted the Core Concepts of Pharmacology Education project in 2022.
