Dr Leo Quinlan has been appointed the inaugural Head of the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences at the University of Galway.
The appointment marks a significant milestone with the creation of the University’s first-ever School of Pharmacy since its foundation in 1845.
Dr Quinlan is currently Vice-Dean for Learning, Teaching and Assessment, and has directed the BSc in Biomedical Science for a decade and served as the Head of Physiology.
He also played a pivotal role in establishing the University’s new MPharm programme, which will welcome its first cohort of students this September.
