We are proud to celebrate the incredible career of University of Glasgow alumna Dr Kate Broderick, PhD in Molecular Genetics 🎓 

From Glasgow to a global stage 🌍, Kate has built an outstanding career in life sciences, leading across biotechnology, biopharma, and global health. Her work spans vaccine development 💉, gene therapies 🧬, and innovative drug delivery, with impact across the Americas, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East and North Africa region. 

Recognised among San Diego Business Women of the Year 🏆, the SD500 Business Leaders, and the Pharma 100, Kate’s achievements reflect not only scientific excellence, but visionary leadership and collaboration across industry, academia, and the public sector. 

Throughout her journey, one constant has remained. A strong connection to Glasgow ❤️🏴⭐, and a passion for communication. As Kate shares, conveying your passion clearly, whether to your team, investors, or the wider public, can shape both careers and scientific progress. 

Her story is a testament to where a Glasgow education can lead, and the global impact our alumni continue to make.

To mark Volunteers Week 2026, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to each of our more than 600 inspirational, World Changing volunteers 💛

Founded in 1451 for the people of our city and grown into a university for the world, the University of Glasgow has been shaped by generations of committed alumni. Your support as a volunteer reflects that same shared commitment to learning, community and meaningful impact that has defined the University for nearly six centuries 🌍

Through your time and generosity, you have offered insight, encouragement and guidance to current and prospective students 🎓 Hearing from alumni across a wide range of countries and industries helps our students see new possibilities and understand where their degree can take them. Our alumni board and committee members also play a vital role across the University, bringing diverse perspectives and expertise that strengthen our work and our community 🤝

Your enthusiasm and commitment make a real difference, not only to individual students but to the global Glasgow alumni network as a whole 🌟 As we celebrate the University’s 575th year, we are especially grateful for the part you play in shaping its future.

Thank you for being such a valued part of our World Changing Glasgow community 💙

Calling our Glasgow based alumni and donor community 📣🧠✍️

Looking for something educational and fun this June?
Join the University of Glasgow for The Big Science Lunch on Monday 8 June, from 10am to 1pm at the Byres Community Hub, Clarice Pears Building.

As part of Glasgow Science Festival 2026, this creative and thought provoking event brings together science and storytelling in a unique writing workshop led by expert physiologists from the University of Glasgow. You’ll explore the wonder of human biology through imaginative writing activities, from crafting a haiku inspired by physiology to writing from the perspective of an organ. No scientific background is needed, just curiosity and creativity 💡❤️

The morning begins with refreshments, registration and an optional tour of the Clarice Pears School of Health and Wellbeing and Byres Community Hub ☕🏛️ It is then followed by a free lunch funded by The Eden Project’s Big Lunch, giving everyone a chance to connect and celebrate 20 years of Glasgow Science Festival together 🥪🎉

This is a brilliant opportunity for local alumni and donors to reconnect with the University of Glasgow, meet others from the community and enjoy a fascinating and friendly event in a fully accessible and inclusive space.

If you’re an alum or donor based locally, we’d love to welcome you. Register here today 👇

Welcome to June, a month that always feels special at the University of Glasgow, especially now in our 575th year 💫

Campus comes alive as we celebrate our summer graduations, with students becoming graduates and new chapters beginning.

We also look ahead to Commemoration Day, a time to reflect, reconnect, and honour the University’s community and traditions.

Whether you remember walking across the stage in the Bute Hall, celebrating in the Quads with friends and family, or simply enjoying those long summer days on campus, this time of year holds so many memories.

We would love to hear yours. Share your favourite June memories in the comments or tag us in your photos and stories 📸
