After graduating with a MA in Biochemistry in 1988, Professor McGowan worked in the pharmaceutical industry, and eventually went on to study medicine at the Royal Free Hospital, London, and graduated in 1998 with merits. Thanks to her research into the role of gut hormones and other neuropeptides in appetite control, she earned a PhD from Imperial College in 2007.
