Jeremy Lambert PhD

Jeremy Lambert obtained his PhD from Strathclyde University, followed by postdoctoral training at the Department of Pharmacology (University of Connecticut, USA) and the Department of Zoology, University of Nottingham. In 1981, he was appointed to a lectureship in Pharmacology at Dundee University, being made Professor of Neuropharmacology in 1991. Together with Professor David G Nicholls, in 1995 he established the Neuroscience Institute at Dundee University to facilitate the interaction of clinical and scientific neuroscience researchers. With Professor Tim Hales funding was raised to create the Institute of Academic Anaesthesia in 2009. From 1999 - 2011, he was the Head of the Neuroscience Institute (now the Division of Neuroscience). In 1999, he was presented with the Gaddum Memorial Award by the British Pharmacological Society, in 2000 the Gold Medal for “Distinguished Services to Anaesthesia” and in 2002 was the British Pharmacological Society visitor to Australia. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (2004); Fellow of the British Pharmacological Society (2004) and a Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (2010). He is currently a co-director of the Wellcome Trust clinical PhD programme at Dundee University.
