Biography
Dr McHugh completed his PhD in Antidepressant Pharmacogenomics in 2006, which was followed by postdoctoral work in the University of Otago’s Department of Pathology. Dr McHugh then worked as a Research Fellow in the University of Otago’s Carney Centre for Pharmacogenomics and the University of Bath’s Department of Biochemistry. In late 2011 Dr McHugh joined the University of Huddersfield as a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Applied Science’s Department of Pharmacy, with subsequent positions as Senior Lecturer and Assoc Prof/Reader in 2014 and 2016 respectively. Dr McHugh’s group focuses predominantly in the key biomedical research areas of biomarker discovery, which encompasses several diseases/conditions including neurological & neurodegenerative disorders.
