Angela Lucas-Herald

Dr. Angela Lucas-Herald serves as a Clinical Senior Lecturer in the School of Medicine, Dentistry & Nursing at the University of Glasgow, where she works within the Child Health department at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. With an active research career spanning over a decade, she maintains a strong publication record with 53 documented items from 2012-2025, demonstrating consistent scholarly contributions to her field.

Dr. Lucas-Herald's research primarily focuses on pediatric endocrinology with particular emphasis on Differences and Disorders of Sex Development (DSD), androgen insensitivity syndromes, hypospadias, growth hormone deficiency, and cardiovascular implications of endocrine disorders. Her work often explores the intersection between endocrine conditions and cardiovascular health, examining how hormonal imbalances affect vascular function across different patient populations. She has made significant contributions to understanding Prader Willi Syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia through both clinical studies and systematic reviews.

Her recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a continued focus on DSD management, cardiovascular risk assessment in endocrine disorders, and healthcare transition from pediatric to adult care. She has been actively involved in international collaborative efforts, particularly through the I-CAH registry for congenital adrenal hyperplasia, demonstrating her commitment to improving global standards of care for complex endocrine conditions.

Dr. Lucas-Herald has secured significant research funding including the 'Cardiovascular risk in early onset hypogonadism' project (2021-2025) from the Office of the Chief Scientific Adviser and 'The long term cardiovascular complications associated with hypospadias' study (2018-2020) from the Mason Medical Research Foundation. Her research datasets include the GO-VASC study and VRASGLOW Study, indicating her leadership in vascular research initiatives.

She maintains an active role in clinical research through the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and collaborates extensively with colleagues across multiple institutions, particularly with Professor S. Faisal Ahmed, with whom she has co-authored numerous publications. Her work bridges clinical practice with research, contributing to evidence-based approaches in pediatric endocrinology and improving patient outcomes for children with complex endocrine conditions.
