He has spent the major part of his career at King’s College London where he was Head of Pharmacology for 14 years before returning to his research roots and subsequently becoming Emeritus Professor of Pharmacology. Peter has expertise in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics but neuropharmacology based on functional models of neurodegenerative diseases has formed the major focus of his work. Peter holds a BPharm, PhD and DSc degree from the University of London. He has published well over 1000 articles with more than 700 peer reviewed papers. He is a Fellow of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, the British Pharmacological Society, the Royal Society of Medicine and of King’s College London.

Matilde Otero-Losada
Dr. Matilde Otero-Losada graduated at the School of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, University of Buenos Aires (UBA) Argentina, pursued her studies in Neuropharmacology getting her Sci.D. in Neuropharmacology (UBA, Argentina) and completing her Ph.D. in Psychiatry at the Wolverhampton University, WLV, UK. Her following studies in Psychometrics and Statistical Methods, Radioisotopes and Radiochemistry, Signal Processing and Microcomputers, took her to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for training in human Psychophysics. Back to Argentina, she carried on studying smell, taste and trigeminal perception at the Hospital de Clínicas, UBA. Focused on the study of metabolic syndrome, soft drinks and cardiovascular-renal morbidity for the last ten years, in the last two years she is back to her roots: Neurosciences. With over 90 papers published in prestigious journals indexed in PubMed, Embase and Scopus and book chapters authored, as Senior Researcher of the National Research Council (Argentina), she customarily reviews manuscripts and is acknowledged in scientific writing, and editorial capacities.
