Explore Principal Investigators in our institute with surnames beginning E-H. Professor Michael Eddleston Personal Chair of Clinical ToxicologyI work to reduce deaths from pesticide and plant self-poisoning in rural Asia, a cause of over 200,000 premature deaths each year.M.Eddleston@ed.ac.uk Professor A. Mark Evans Personal Chair of Cellullar PharmacologyWe study the role of AMPK in coordinating breathing and oxygen supply and signalling across the cell-wide web, a network of cytoplasmic nanotubes.Mark.Evans@ed.ac.uk Professor Kiterie Faller MRC Clinician Scientist Fellow, Personal Chair of Comparativ // Senior Lecturer in Veterinary NeurologyWe are studying cellular pathways leading to neurodegeneration in motor neuron diseases like spinal muscular atrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.Kiterie.Faller@ed.ac.uk Professor Sue M Fleetwood-Walker Personal Chair of Sensory NeuroscienceWe study mechanisms of neuropathic pain to find new analgesic targets such as TRPM8, and work with clinicians on imaging the pain pathway.S.M.Fleetwood-Walker@ed.ac.uk Professor Shareen Forbes Personal Chair of Diabetic MedicineOur multi-disciplinary diabetes, transplant, and cell therapy group works to deliver therapies that improve the lives of people with Type 1 diabetes.Shareen.Forbes@ed.ac.uk Dr Jill Fowler Senior LecturerWe study how glial cells drive white matter damage and long-term brain damage after stroke & vascular disease to develop treatments for dementia.Jill.Fowler@ed.ac.uk Dr Peter Gallacher 2023 ECAT SCREDS Clinical Lectureships // Senior Clinical Research FellowMy research involves analysing routine healthcare data and developing novel epidemiological methods to inform policy and cardiovascular and kidney healthcare.Pgallach@exseed.ed.ac.uk Dr Jian Gan UK Dementia Research Institute Programme Leader (Fellow)We study how neurons, glial cells, and vasculature coordinate to support cognition, how it breaks down early in dementia, and if it can be reversed.Jian.Gan@ed.ac.uk Dr Angus Gane ECAT-I Clinical Lecturer (Neurology)I work as a speciality registrar in neurology, stroke and general internal medicine, and my research interest is in mechanisms of epilepsy.Agane@ed.ac.uk Professor Tom Gillingwater Chair of AnatomyWe work to understand cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the form and function of the nervous system in health and disease.T.Gillingwater@ed.ac.uk Dr Alfredo Gonzalez-Sulser Senior LecturerWe work on understanding the causes of epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders to develop new therapeutics and biomarkers.Agonzal2@staffmail.ed.ac.uk Professor Seth Grant Personal Chair in Molecular Neuroscience // Personal Chair of Molecular NeuroscienceWe study synapse diversity, uncovering its fundamental roles in brain function and dysfunction throughout the lifespan.Seth.Grant@ed.ac.uk Dr Sebastian Greiss Senior LecturerWe expand the genetic code of multicellular organisms to produce proteins with new types of amino acids and properties not found in nature.S.Greiss@ed.ac.uk Professor Tomasz Guzik Chair of Cardiovascular MedicineOur research focuses on understanding how inflammation and oxidation intersect in vascular biology, especially in the context of hypertension.Tguzik@exseed.ed.ac.uk Professor Patrick Hadoke Personal Chair of Arterial RemodellingI study mechanisms that regulate arterial function and structure, focussing on the role of the endothelium, new blood vessel and lesion formation.Patrick.Hadoke@ed.ac.uk Professor Charlotte Hanlon Chair of Global Mental HealthOur work focuses on how to better support recovery of people with mental health conditions in low- and middle-income countries.Chanlon@ed.ac.uk Professor Giles Hardingham City of Edinburgh Chair of PharmacologyWe work on understanding how neurons and surrounding cells in the brain work together to adapt to changing needs, to remain in good health.Giles.H@ed.ac.uk Dr Philip Hasel Wellcome Career Development FellowWe study how astrocytes contribute to brain function and disease.Philip.Hasel@ed.ac.uk Dr Lizzie Haythorne Chancellor's FellowWe investigate how hyperglycaemia and environmental factors damage pancreatic β-cells, in order to develop better therapies for type 2 diabetes.Ehaythor@ed.ac.uk Dr Natalie Homer Deputy Director Mass Spectrometry Core // Research FellowI use advanced mass spectrometry to measure hormones, metabolites and medicines to better understand health and disease.N.Z.M.Homer@ed.ac.uk Professor Karen Horsburgh Personal Chair of NeuroscienceWe are studying interactions between brain blood vessels and immune cells, and how changes may contribute to memory problems and dementia.Karen.Horsburgh@ed.ac.uk Professor David Hunt Professor of Neuroinflammatory MedicineWe investigate how innate immune activation causes damage to the microvasculature of the brain.David.Hunt@ed.ac.uk Dr Robert Hunter Clinical Research Career Development FellowKidneys contain tiny tubes ("tubules") that control body fluid composition. We design medicines to modify tubular function to treat kidney disease.Robert.Hunter@ed.ac.uk This article was published on 2026-04-15
