About the course
The UK government's last Research Assessment Exercise confirmed 80 per cent of the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences' research to be of international standing and 10 per cent to be world leading. The school continues to build on this research excellence as reflected by increases in publication output, research grant income and research student numbers. The school has also developed and led a number of government and EU-funded collaborative programmes.
Forty full-time academic staff are supported by 27 technical staff with 50 registered research students/assistants, 18 research fellows and seven technicians.
Research is structured in a multidisciplinary way to explore underlying pathogenic mechanisms in specific disease states, from which novel approaches to prophylaxis and therapy may be devised and evaluated. Pathological conditions under investigation include diabetes, ageing, obstructive airway diseases, asthma, microbial infection of mucosal and implanted surfaces, and host reactions to implanted materials. Particular emphasis is placed on offering ultimate practical application in the healthcare field.
The core chemical, biological and molecular facilities in the school are supported by state-of-the-art instrumentation for automated analytical and quantitative chromatography (HPLC, CZE), CHN analysis and spectroscopy (UV, FT-IR). A dedicated image/surface analysis suite houses electron, confocal, optical and atomic force microscopes plus 3 ?-test quartz crystal resonance sensors and other electroanalytical equipment. The analytical equipment base also includes a GC-mass spectrometer, a 360MHz NMR and molecular modelling work stations. Support facilities include general electronic workshops, a GMP-accredited pharmaceutical manufacturing suite, a containment level-3 microbiology laboratory and three category-2 tissue culture rooms. Latest additions include: a Nicolet FT-IR/FT-Raman spectrophotometer, a Wallac gamma counter, a Malvern Zetamaster and a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer.
