David Hill

David Hill is a Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry at the University of Sunderland. He specializes in cell biology and biochemistry, focusing on cancer mechanisms, particularly how stress response pathways like the unfolded protein response and autophagy influence cancer cell survival and therapeutic targeting. He teaches on the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science program, leading modules such as HCS112 Chemistry for the Biosciences and HCS304 Clinical Biochemistry.

His research investigates the role of endocannabinoids and cannabinoids in modulating cellular stress responses, aiming to identify novel cancer treatments. Key interests include endocannabinoid deficiency's impact on ER stress, cannabinoid effects on lipid metabolism, and oncogene-induced transformation susceptibility. His work has shown cannabinoid-induced apoptosis in melanoma cells, with ongoing studies on mechanism elucidation.
