David Colquhoun, (b. 1936) is a British pharmacologist at University College London (UCL).〔 〕 He has contributed to the general theory of receptor and synaptic mechanisms, and particular the theory and practice of single ion channel function. He previously held the A.J. Clark chair of Pharmacology at UCL, and was the Hon. Director of the Wellcome Laboratory for Molecular Pharmacology. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1985 and an honorary fellow of UCL in 2004. Colquhoun runs the website ''DC's Improbable Science'', which is critical of pseudoscience, particularly alternative medicine, and managerialism. == Early life and education == Colquhoun was born on 19 July 1936 in Birkenhead,〔 UK. He was educated at Birkenhead School and Liverpool Technical College. After working unhappily as an apprentice pharmacist, he was motivated to go into research.〔 〕 He obtained a B.Sc. from the University of Leeds with a specialization in pharmacology, and went on to complete a Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh where he studied the binding of immunoglobulins to lung tissue. During his education, Colquhoun developed an interest in statistics and random processes, which would influence his research in years to come. Upon completion of his Ph.D., Colquhoun conducted further research on immunological problems at UCL from 1964-1969. During this time he published a book on statistics. Following this, he completed stints at Yale University and at the University of Southampton.〔 He returned to the pharmacology department at UCL in 1979, where he has remained since. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Colquhoun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
