Biography
editDavies received his BA, MA, and, in 1989, D. Phil, all at University of Cambridge. He then took up post doctoral fellowships first at the University of Manchester, and then at the University of Southampton before being appointed to Edinburgh. He was initially appointed in 1995 as a lecturer, rising to senior lecturer, reader, and finally professor.
Davies was the founding editor of the journal Organogenesis and is on the editorial boards of Journal of Anatomy, and Nephron. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Royal Society of Biology, the Royal Society of Medicine, a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and, though his 'other life' as a dance teacher, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.[2] He is also a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He served on the board of the National Centre for 3Rs from 2009 to 2014, and was deputy chair from 2012.[3][4][5]
In 2023, Davies was elected a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales.[6]
