Biography

I trained at the University of London (UK), and the University of British Columbia (Vancouver Canada). I have conducted research on cardiac arrhythmias and antiarrhythmic drugs for more than 30 years. I have served the British Pharmacological Society in a number of capacities, including senior editor of British Journal of Pharmacology (BJP), and champion of the journal’s design and analysis initiatives (see Br J Pharmacology 175 987-993, 2018).
