Medicine Research Laboratories
The Medicine Research team
The expansion of our division to include an experimental pharmacology team is an exciting recent development. The Medicine Research team is truly multi-disciplinary, with academics from different backgrounds in health sciences, including pharmacology and physiology. Although this unit is still in its infancy, having been established in 2021, staff members are established researchers and supervisors with an impressive collective skills set.
Our main focus areas are:
- Identification of cellular and molecular therapeutic targets
- Drug discovery and repurposing
- Pharmacovigilance
-
Student training
- Science communication
