He is Professor of Resilience Biology, holds a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award and is a Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator. Before taking this position in Edinburgh he spent two decades at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York where he was the Louis Goldstein Swann Chair in Women’s Health, Deputy Director of the NCI funded Cancer Center and Director of the NIH funded Center for the Study of Reproductive Biology and Women’s Health.
Prfessor Pollard’s research was highlighted on banners at the AACR meeting since his review in 2006 with Professor Claire Lewis was selected to celebrate the 75th year of publishing of “Cancer Research” as one of the 9 most cited and influental reviews.

Professor Pollard has published over 225 papers and edited several books. He is regularly among the top 1% of cited scientists in Biomedical Sciences. He has served on many editorial boards and is currently on several including, “Molecular Oncology”, “Journal of Clinical Investigation”, “Cancer Microenvironment”, “OncoTarget”, “Molecular Oncology” and “Journal of Mammary Gland Biology and Neoplasia”. He is also serves on many Scientific Advisory Boards including the Campbell Center in Toronto, Canada (Dr. Tak Mak), the Knight Cancer Center University of Portland, Oregon, USA (Dr. Lisa Coussens), Institute of Science and Technology, Nankai University Tianjin, China (Dr. Luyuan Li), and Breakthrough for Breast Cancer in the UK. He is also Chair of the advisory committee for the European “Rational Molecular Assessment and Innovative Drug Selection (RAIDS)” focused on advanced stage cervical cancer and centred at the Institut Curie in Paris, France. In addition, he is a visiting professor for Sun Yat Sen University in Guangzhou, China.
Professor Pollard’s research has been featured in textbooks such as “Molecular Biology of the Cell” and “Pathophysiology” where his work featured on the front cover. His work has also been featured in many popular science journals including Scientific American, in newspapers and on TV programs in the UK, US and Japan. One of the most recent was the American ABC program “Breast Cancer: New Options and New Promise” which went onto win an Emmy award in 2013.
