Professor Andrew Lloyd graduated from Robinson College, University of Cambridge in 1986 with a degree in Natural Sciences, specialising in bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology. He completed his PhD in biopharmaceutics and was appointed to the academic staff in the Department of Pharmacy, University of Brighton as a Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 1989 and promoted to Senior Lecturer in 1993. He was made Reader in Biopharmaceutical Sciences and elected to Fellowship of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1998 and promoted to Professor of Biomedical Materials in 2000.

He was appointed as Joint Head of Research with responsibility for strategic planning in the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences in 2000, Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering in 2003, Dean of the College of Life, Health and Physical Sciences in 2014 and Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Operations) in July 2017. He was interim Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research and Enterprise) for 6 months in 2016 and appointed to his present role as Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Operations) in October 2019.

He was the British Pharmaceutical Conference Science Chair in 2008.

Andrew's primary research interests include the development and evaluation of novel materials for drug delivery and medical device applications. At present his research focuses on the development of novel contact lens materials to improve long-term on-eye comfort.
