Gail is a Lecturer in Pharmacology at the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, University of Central Lancashire. After graduating with an honours degree in Molecular Biology from the University of Glasgow, she went on to obtain an MSc in Forensic Science from the University of Strathclyde. Following a short period working as a trainee Medical Laboratory Scientific Officer, Gail returned to study and gained her PhD characterising the molecular regulation of A3 adenosine receptor internalisation with Dr Tim Palmer at the University of Glasgow. She subsequently took up a postdoctoral position in the US working with Prof. John Lawrence at the University of Virginia, Dept. of Pharmacology.
