Biography

Graeme Milligan Ph.D., FRSE, FMEd Sci, FBPharmacolS

Professor Graeme Milligan is Gardiner Professor of Biochemistry, former Dean of Research and current Deputy Head of the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences at the University of Glasgow. His main research group centres on the function, structure, and regulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their interacting proteins. His experience also includes translating knowledge generated into selection of targets, screening, and identification of small molecule regulators of these proteins and progressing such ligands in drug development programmes.

Prof. Milligan has published more than 550 peer-reviewed articles and his research has been cited more than 35,000 times. He was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1998 and to the Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2016.

Prof. Milligan is the co-founder of both Caldan Therapeutics (2015) which discovers novel therapeutics for metabolic diseases including Type 2 Diabetes and other indications including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and inflammatory diseases and of Keltic Pharma Therapeutics (2020) which is developing new treatments for malaria.
