Dr. Anna Morgan serves as Senior Lecturer in Physiology and Pharmacology within the Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Kingston University London's Faculty of Health, Science, Social Care and Education. Appointed to the pharmacology teaching team in 2015 and elevated to Course Leader for the BSc Pharmacology honours programme in 2021, she oversees academic strategy, student welfare, and curriculum development while maintaining active research collaborations.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD in Pharmacology from King's College London
- MSc in Equine Science from Aberystwyth University, Wales
- BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology from King's College London
- BSc in Psychology, summa cum laude, from St Edward's University, Austin, Texas, USA
Dr. Morgan's research trajectory spans foundational work in respiratory nanotoxicity and pulmonary drug delivery to contemporary focus on STEM pedagogy. Current investigations prioritize embedding transferrable skills within pharmacology curricula, closing attainment gaps through systematic formative assessment, and pioneering art-integrated STEM methodologies with Dr. Francesca Arrigoni. Her educational innovations directly support Kingston University's Town House strategy and Future Skills initiative.
Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals dual research streams: oncology collaborations with Prof. Helmout Modjtahedi's Cancer Studies Group examine HER family receptors and glioblastoma biomarkers, while nanotoxicology studies investigate nanoplastic impacts on respiratory systems. Both domains demonstrate rigorous interdisciplinary methodology bridging laboratory science and educational application.
Her scholarly recognition includes:
- C. W. Maplethorpe Fellowship
- Fellowship of the British Pharmacological Society
- Fellowship of Advance HE (FHEA)
As Course Leader, Dr. Morgan secured SADRAS funding for soft skills research and developed enterprise education workshops with Kingston's HackCentre. Her 2024 programme revalidation implemented spiral curriculum design and enhanced formative assessment systems, directly addressing data-driven insights on student progression and attainment gaps.
She actively collaborates with the Cancer Studies Group on biomarker research, partners with Dr. Arrigoni on art-STEM integration, and coordinates with the pharmacology teaching team to advance innovative pedagogical approaches including flipped lectures and workshop-based instruction across multiple degree programmes.
