Kenneth Watterson

Dr. Kenneth Watterson is a Lecturer in Molecular Biosciences at the University of Glasgow. He is affiliated with the Molecular Pharmacology & Cellular Signalling research group, focusing on lipid signaling and metabolic regulation.

Research Interests

• Pharmacology of free fatty acid receptors (FFA1, FFA4, GPR120)
• Role of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in smooth muscle contraction and wound healing
• AMPK signaling in glucose and lipid metabolism
• Neuroendocrine regulation of energy balance
• Development of pharmacological tools for metabolic disease research

Article Trends

Dr. Watterson's publications (2000-2017) demonstrate expertise in S1P signaling, FFA receptor pharmacology, and metabolic disease mechanisms. His work spans diabetes research, smooth muscle physiology, and lipid mediator biology, with recent emphasis on drug discovery for metabolic disorders.

Labs & Teams

Active member of the Molecular Pharmacology & Cellular Signalling group at University of Glasgow, collaborating on lipid signaling projects. His research involves interdisciplinary teams in pharmacology, endocrinology, and cell biology.
