Wendy Rowan

I started my career at Guy’s Hospital Medical School, before transitioning to industry. I have worked for GSK and its legacy companies for over thirty years. Immunology has been a common theme throughout my career, working on aspects of both innate and adaptive immunity in respiratory and autoimmune diseases. In April 2019, I joined the Novel Human Genetics Research Unit with a focus on using genetics to guide target selection for drug discovery. With the aim of reducing attrition in drug discovery, I have a long-standing interest in developing and accessing better human translational models for target validation, lead discovery and candidate selection, including safety assessment and PK/PD profiling.
