Andrew Horne (http://www.crh.ed.ac.uk/dr-andrew-horne) obtained an MBChB from the University of Edinburgh in 1994. In 1999, he obtained a competitive entry Clinical Training Fellowship from the Medical Research Council and used this opportunity to complete a PhD focused on the role of the endometrium in reproduction at the Institute of Reproductive and Developmental Biology at Imperial College London. Back in Edinburgh, he completed his core clinical training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology between 2002 and 2005. During this time he combined his research interest with training in laparoscopic skills as a Fellow in Gynaecological Endoscopy at the University of Toronto in 2005, until his appointment as a Clinical Lecturer in Edinburgh later that year. As a Lecturer, he developed a major research interest in Fallopian tube and endometrial biology, embryo implantation and ectopic pregnancy, and secured an Intermediate Clinician Scientist Fellowship from the Medical Research Council. Since his appointment as a Senior Lecturer and Consultant Gynaecologist in 2010, he has also developed both clinical and research interests in pelvic pain and endometriosis. He is clinical lead of the EXPPECT Centre for Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis (www.exppectedinburgh.co.uk) in Edinburgh. In 2014, he became Professor of Gynaecology and Reproductive Sciences.
