Prof Gary Hutchison is the Dean of the School of Applied Sciences at Edinburgh Napier University and a member of the University Senior Leadership Team. He holds advanced degrees in Molecular and Cell Biology (BSc, University of Stirling), Drug Design and Biomedical Science (MSc), and a PhD in Nanotoxicology from Napier University. His research focuses on nanomaterial safety, particularly their interactions with human systems and environmental impacts. He leads projects like the EU-funded BIORIMA and MARINA initiatives, addressing risk management of nanomaterials in medical applications.
Prof Hutchison serves on UK government advisory committees, including the FSA Committee on Toxicity and Defra’s College of Scientific Experts. He chairs the Scottish Institute for Policing Research Board and contributes to STEM/STEAM education initiatives through the Scottish Council of Deans for Education. His work spans nanomaterial toxicity in reproductive health, pollutant interactions, and environmental sustainability strategies.
He has secured significant grants for collaborative studies, including the £158,070 BIORIMA project. His advisory roles emphasize policy development for sustainable chemicals and nanotechnology governance. His research teams investigate in vitro models for nanomedicine safety and host defense mechanisms against nanoparticles.
