Biography
Dr Niall P. Hyland is a leading academic and researcher specialising in pharmacology, physiology, and the intricate connections between gut microbiota and health. He is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physiology at University College Cork (UCC) and plays a vital role as a Funded Investigator at APC Microbiome Ireland, a foremost institution in microbiome research.
Dr Hyland obtained his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science with honours from the University of Ulster in 2000. He then expanded his research experience internationally through a visiting fellowship at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. His early research interests motivated him to pursue a PhD in Pharmacology at King’s College London, which he completed in 2004. This work laid the groundwork for his ongoing research in neurogastroenterology and gut-brain interactions. Following his doctoral studies, Dr. Hyland undertook a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Calgary, where he was granted a Research Initiative Award to support his endeavours from the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and AstraZeneca. In 2007, he returned to Ireland to accept a senior postdoctoral position at APC Microbiome Ireland and joined UCC as a Lecturer in the Department of Pharmacology in 2008, advancing to Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physiology in 2018.
His research primarily investigates the interplay between gut microbiota and the gastrointestinal system in both health and disease, focusing on areas such as Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI), colon cancer, and Fabry Disease. Dr Hyland's laboratory employs advanced methodologies to explore the physiological effects of the microbiome, including probiotics and postbiotics, on gastrointestinal physiology and drug-gut microbiome interactions. His notable contributions encompass research on the physiological effects of gut microbes, gastrointestinal complications related to stress, and real-time monitoring of neural activity in the gut. He has co-edited two editions of The Gut-Brain Axis: Dietary, Probiotic, and Prebiotic Interventions on the Microbiota, published by Academic Press, and maintains an H-index of 31, reflecting his significant impact in the field. With numerous publications in respected peer-reviewed journals and over €3 million secured in research funding, Dr Hyland's expertise is widely recognised.
In addition to his academic pursuits, Dr Hyland is actively engaged in various professional organisations. He has served as Vice President of Meetings for the British Pharmacological Society and has contributed to steering committees within European and American gastroenterological associations. His editorial roles include a Senior Editorship at Pharmacology Research & Perspectives, an Open Access journal of the British Pharmacological Society and the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, and acting as a review editor for several key journals in neuroscience and physiology.
In 2022, Dr Hyland was honored with an Honorary Fellowship from the British Pharmacological Society in recognition of his significant contributions.
