Fiona J Dowell

Dr. Fiona J Dowell is a Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Pharmacology at the University of Glasgow's School of Veterinary Medicine. She contributes to curriculum development and technology-enhanced learning, focusing on pharmacological control of smooth muscle and stress assessment in companion animals.

• Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Pharmacology (University of Glasgow, 2012–present)
• BVMS 2 Course Leader and developer of pharmacology courses.

Research Interests:

• Pharmacological control of smooth muscle using in vitro organ bath setups.
• Evaluation of stress indicators in companion animals.
• Technology-enhanced learning (TELT) and digital professionalism in veterinary education.

Article Trends: Fiona's recent work includes studies on curriculum mapping, student assessment literacy, and decolonizing veterinary education. Earlier research focused on vascular reactivity, stress reduction in kennelled dogs via music, and neutering effects on urinary physiology. Her work spans pharmacology, veterinary medicine, and educational innovation.

Grants: Fiona has secured grants for projects on canine vascular effects of hemoglobin solutions, hyperglycemia-mediated dysfunction, and urinary bladder mechanisms in neutered dogs.
