Janice Marshall was an undergraduate at the University of Birmingham and studied for her PhD in the Medical School.  She was appointed to a Lectureship in Physiology and then to Senior Lectureship, Readership and in 1995, to a Personal Chair in Cardiovascular Science. 

In 2002, Janice became Head of the Division of Medical Sciences in the School of Medicine and held this post until 2008.  At the time of the University’s re-structuring in August 2008, she became Director of Education for the College of Medical & Dental Sciences

Teaching

Research

Janice's research interests lie in the neural and local regulation of tissue blood flow in health and disease with particular focus on the physiological consequences of systemic hypoxia and exercise.  

She has published over 120 papers and reviews and has edited 3 books.  Janice is a Fellow of the Institute of Biology and of the Academy of Medical Sciences.  In addition to her research activities, Janice has always maintained a strong interest and involvement in teaching and education.  She has served on several Editorial Boards for international research journals and on several national advisory and professional committees concerned with education and research.

Other activities

  • Janice joined Senate in August 2008 and was elected to Council by the academic members of Senate. 
  • She is a member of the Strategy, Planning and Resources Committee.
  • Currently supervises 5 PhD students.
  • Editorial Board of 3 Journals
  • University Representative for The Physiological Society
