Dr Alice McCloskey

Reader of Pharmacy, MPharm (Master of Pharmacy) Programme Leader, Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, Liverpool John Moores University.

Dr McCloskey is a Reader of Pharmacy, MPharm Programme Leader, and Co-Lead of the Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics Research Group. She is a registered pharmacist of the GPhC (General Pharmaceutical Council) and PSNI (Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland) with a range of experience working across the three main sectors of pharmacy – clinical practice, academia and industry.

Upon successful completion of her pre-registration training, Dr McCloskey returned to Queen’s University Belfast and completed a PhD in pharmaceutics where she developed ‘self-assembled peptide nanomaterials for the prevention of biomaterial infection’. This was followed by an industry-academia collaborative post-doc between the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI, Dublin) and the Galway-based nebuliser company Aerogen, a global leader in aerosol delivery.

This work was also linked with a national patient focused medical device research centre, CURAM (Centre for Research in Medical Devices) based at The National University of Ireland, Galway. Dr McCloskey is a Fellow of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and Fellow of HEA. Links are maintained with clinical pharmacy through regular days in practice both in hospital and community settings.
