Sir Allen McClay
The School of Pharmacy has learned, with great sadness, that Sir Allen McClay, a major benefactor of the School, passed away on January 12th., 2010. Sir Allen founded the pharmaceutical companies Galen plc and its successor, Almac Group Ltd. Through his long association with Queen's, he made substantial philanthropic donations to the School. One of his most notable legacies is the School's McClay Research Centre for Pharmaceutical Sciences, the construction of which was entirely funded through the charitable McClay Trust established by Sir Allen. We extend our deepest sympathy to his wife, Lady Heather, and to his colleagues at Almac Group.
