Graeme Sills
Senior Lecturer In Pharmacology
I graduated from the University of Glasgow with BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology (1990) and subsequently completed a PhD (1994) entitled “Experimental seizure models and new antiepileptic drugs”. I then embarked on a research career that has primarily focused on the experimental and clinical pharmacology of epilepsy, initially at the University of Glasgow and later at the University of Liverpool. I have (co)authored ~150 publications in the field of epilepsy and epilepsy therapeutics, presented my research on anti-seizure drug mechanisms and drug resistance in epilepsy at countless national and international meetings, and served on advisory panels, speaker bureaus and as a consultant for the pharmaceutical industry. Since returning to Glasgow in 2018, my focus has shifted to pharmacology education. I have been Year 3 coordinator and deputy programme lead for BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology for the past six years, sharing my passion for our subject with the next generation of pharmacologists. I am a regular attendee at BPS meetings and have had the privilege of sitting on the BPS Education & Training committee and the BPS Meetings committee (as Education & Training representative) since 2023.
