Dr. James Phillips joined the Open University as a Lecturer in Health Sciences at the end of 2004. Prior to this, James carried out research at the School of Pharmacy, University of London, examining the pharmacology of inflammation in the central nervous system. He is now involved in preparing and maintaining first and second year Health Science courses, and his research laboratory at the OU continues to investigate the biological mechanisms that underpin the response to traumatic injury of the peripheral nervous system and spinal cord.
