Ryan McNally

I am a post-doctoral Research Associate in the Department of Vascular Risk and Surgery, School of Cardiovascular Medicine and Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine. I have a Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) degree from Queen’s University Belfast (2012-2016) and a PhD in Cardiovascular Medical Research (2017-2021), investigating the role of sodium and fluid homeostasis in hypertension which was funded by the British Heart Foundation. I am currently carrying out my postdoctoral research project between King’s College London and the University of Cambridge investigating salt-sensitivity in the pathogenesis of hypertension. I am a member of the European Society of Hypertension Young Investigator Committee and an Early Career Researcher representative of the British and Irish Hypertension Society. I was awarded Early Career Researcher of the Year at the BIHS 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting and ARTERY Young Investigator Award 2023 in Germany. Building on my background in clinical pharmacy and clinical scientific research, I have a focused drive to pursue a clinical academic career pathway.
