Malcolm Rowland

Malcolm Rowland is a distinguished British pharmacologist and academic, renowned for his significant contributions to the field of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. He is best known for his work on drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), which has greatly influenced the development of new drugs and therapies.

Early Life and Education

Malcolm Rowland was born in the United Kingdom. He pursued his undergraduate studies in Pharmacy at the University of London, where he developed a keen interest in pharmacology. He later obtained his Ph.D. in Pharmacokinetics from the same institution.

Career

Following his Ph.D., Rowland joined the faculty of the University of Manchester as a professor of Pharmacokinetics. During his tenure, he made significant contributions to the understanding of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). His research has been instrumental in the development of new drugs and therapies.

Rowland is also the co-author of the widely used textbook "Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics: Concepts and Applications". This book has been a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field of pharmacology and related disciplines.

Contributions to Pharmacology

Rowland's work in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics has had a profound impact on the field of pharmacology. His research has helped to elucidate the mechanisms of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), which are crucial for the development of new drugs and therapies.

In addition to his research, Rowland has also made significant contributions to the field through his teaching and mentorship. He has trained numerous students and researchers, many of whom have gone on to make their own contributions to the field of pharmacology.

Awards and Honors

In recognition of his contributions to the field of pharmacology, Rowland has received numerous awards and honors. These include the Rawls-Palmer Progress in Medicine Award from the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics and the Oscar B. Hunter Memorial Award from the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.
