Eleanor Davies is Professor of Molecular Endocrinology in the School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health at the University of Glasgow. She graduated from the University of Glasgow with a BSc (Hons) Biochemistry and then from the University of Edinburgh with a PhD. After a post-doctoral position in Newcastle and a 3-year fellowship in INSERM U36 Paris, she returned to Glasgow.
Currently, she leads a translational research group investigating the role of aldosterone in cardiovascular disease, in particular hypertension and stroke. Her studies integrate molecular biology, cell biology and human clinical studies and they have been funded by grants from the EU, MRC, BHF and CSO.
Currently, we are investigating the utility of circulating OMIC biomarkers including miRNAs in the diagnosis of Endocrine Hypertension (ENSAT-HT).
In addition, she is Director of our Cardiovascular Sciences MSc programme and our British Heart Foundation PhD training programme.
She is a reviewer for multiple national and international funding organisations and journals and for the last 5 years she has also chaired the Scottish Government’s CSO Translational Science grants committee.

The European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) is at the centre of Europe's endocrine community. Together we work to develop knowledge and share expertise in endocrine science and medicine.
You can make a difference by becoming a member of one of our Committees and help fulfill our vision to unite, support and represent the endocrine community. Committee members must be current members of ESE.
