I originally did my masters degree at the University of Aberdeen between 2008 & 2012. At that time, I often leapt between Scotland and Switzerland, where I had family, interning as a journalist working in the pharmaceutical industry, specifically in pharmcometrics at Novartis Pharma AG. It was there that I developed a good working knowledge of biochemistry, disease pathology, biotech and the drug development process.

I later did my PhD at the University of Birmingham, focussing on human communication through a non-realist account of moral discourse called Expressive Fictionalism, which portrays meta-ethical language as a means of presenting emotions, and projecting these onto the world through utterances, using a constructed morality narrative as a contextual platform for self-expression. Basically, I spent six years studying the cognitive and behavioural psychology of how individuals expressed concepts of morality through statements like, ‘Kicking cats is wrong!’

In the meantime, It’s all in the Dose Ltd started, first with my father, Phil Lowe, then with myself on board as well, first on a part-time basis, and then increasingly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on PKPD modelling projects in other fields, particularly in areas like malaria research.

These days, I work through It’s all in the Dose Ltd on a freelance basis.
