Dr Harry Pritchard is an Alzheimer’s Society Future Research Leaders Fellow at Manchester. He obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences and a Master of Research in Cardiovascular Science at St. Georges, University of London. He also completed his PhD with Professor Iain Greenwood at St. Georges, University of London, in Pharmacology and Electrophysiology, with his thesis entitled ‘Regulation of Ca2+ activated Cl– channels in vascular smooth muscle’.
Following his PhD, Harry moved to University of Nevada at Reno to work with Professor Scott Earley. During this post-doctoral period, Harry published several papers at PNAS, eLife and Science Signalling around the regulation of Ca2+ sparks in vascular smooth muscle and their dependence on microtubules and Junctophilin-2. Moving back to the UK, Harry took up a British Heart Foundation research fellowship at the University of Manchester. Harry’s research interests are in the organisation of subcellular structures that influence cerebral blood flow in health and disease (hypertension, vascular dementia and obesity). His research expertise are in electrophysiology, Ca2+signalling, super-resolution microscopy and pressure myography. In 2023, Harry was awarded the Alzheimer’s Society Future Research Leaders Fellowship.
