We would like to welcome Syama Priya Thampy to SCMH!
I am Syama Priya Thampy, a PhD research student in Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Glasgow, under the supervision of Dr. Delyth Graham and Dr. Martin McBride. My research project, “Uromodulin – A Precision Medicine Target for Novel Drug Discovery in Cardiovascular Disease,” integrates pharmacology, molecular biology, and analytical science to investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying hypertension, with a particular focus on Uromodulin. My academic foundation began with a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy from Amrita School of Pharmacy, where I developed a strong grounding in pharmaceutical sciences, formulation design, and molecular pharmacology. I went on to earn a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, which deepened my expertise in clinical pharmacology and patient-centered care, including a collaborative research project with the University of Findlay, Ohio, on the evidence-based management of hypertension. I later pursued a Master’s degree in Advanced Drug Delivery from the University of Strathclyde, where my thesis, “Field Flow Fractionation for the Analysis of Novel Nanomaterials,” focused on nanoparticle characterization and analytical techniques. This experience strengthened my skills in biopharmaceutics and nanomedicine, forming the bridge between molecular discovery and clinical innovation that now drives my PhD research in precision cardiovascular medicine.
We wish you all the best with your studies 🎉
