Stuart Graham Cull-Candy FRS FMedSci (born 1946) is a British neuroscientist.^[1] He holds the Gaddum Chair of Pharmacology and a personal Chair in Neuroscience at University College London.^[2] He is also a member of the Faculty of 1000 and held a Royal Society - Wolfson Research position.^[3]

Cull-Candy earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Royal Holloway, University of London,^[4] then a Master of Science degree from University College London (1971), and a PhD from the University of Glasgow in 1974.^[5]

After working as a Royal Society Exchange Fellow at the University of Lund with Prof Stephen Thesleff, he was awarded a Beit Memorial Research Fellowship to work in UCL's Biophysics Department with Sir Bernard Katz and Prof Ricardo Miledi. He later moved to UCL's Pharmacology Department as a Wellcome Trust Reader and then Professor of Pharmacology.^[2][6] He has been an editorial advisor to Nature, and served on the Editorial Boards of various journals including Neuron, The Journal of Physiology and as a Reviewing Editor on Journal of Neuroscience.^{[citation needed]} Currently^[when?] he is a member of the Royal Society University Research Fellowships Committee, and the Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowships panel.

His research focuses on understanding molecular and functional properties of glutamate receptor channels underlying fast synaptic transmission in the brain. His research activities also include the study of ionotropic γ-aminobutyric acid and glutamate receptor signalling and regulation of neurotransmitter release. He has been a keen advocate of patch-clamp recording techniques combined with molecular methods for investigating central synaptic transmission.^[7]
