Say hello to our Scientific Advisory Board

Hello Bio is delighted to work with some of the world’s most eminent scientists. Together, we are striving to bring you the best tools for receptor and signaling research – from novel cutting edge tools, to affordable every day products. 

Professor Graham Collingridge, CBEProfessor Graham Collingridge, CBE, FRS

  • BSc(Bristol), PhD(Lond), FRS
  • Director of the Tanz Centre for Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases (CRND)
  • Krembil Family Chair in Alzheimer’s Research
  • Professor of Physiology, Department of Physiology, University of Toronto 
  • Senior Investigator, Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Canada
  • Emeritus Professor of Neuroscience in Anatomy, University of Bristol, UK
  • Former Presidents, The British Neuroscience Association and The Canadian Physiological Society
  • Winner of The Brain Prize, 2016
  • Awarded a CBE in 2019

Graham Collingridge is a member of the Faculty of 1000 and a former president of the British Neuroscience Association. He is a co winner of The Brain Prize 2016 - regarded as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for neuroscientists. This award recognises one or more scientists who have distinguished themselves by an outstanding contribution to neuroscience. He studies synaptic plasticity, in particular long-term potentiation and long-term depression, in health and disease models. Graham was awarded a CBE in the 2019 Queen’s Birthday Honours, which recognises the outstanding achievements of extraordinary people across the UK. Find out more about Graham in the interview - Inside the brain of The Brain Prize winner and read about the Neurochemical Research special edition, published in his honor.

I made the discovery that the NMDA receptor is the trigger for the induction of LTP using D-AP5 synthesized by Jeff Watkins, the discoverer of the NMDA receptor. At that time it was not commercially available but Jeff kindly gave me a sample of his new antagonist. I now obtain my D-AP5 from Hello Bio. I love their products and ethos and that is why I accepted a position on their Scientific Advisory Board.

Professor David Jane

Professor David Jane

  • BA(Cantab), PhD(Salf), MRSC
  • Professor of Chemical Pharmacology (University of Bristol)

David Jane is currently Professor of Chemical Pharmacology at the University of Bristol. His research involves developing pharmacological tools for AMPA, Kainate, NMDA and mGlu receptors. David’s work includes ligand and structure based design of novel glutamate receptor agonists, antagonists and allosteric modulators, chemical synthesis of target compounds and pharmacological characterisation of novel compounds.

These guys bring something different to the life science community – and I am really glad I am a part of it. Trying to make science more affordable can only be a good thing! Professor David Jane
