About Us
We are a large, multi-disciplinary department, which aims to tackle some of the world’s biggest health challenges by integrating innovative basic biology with cutting edge clinical research. We have internationally renowned programmes in a range of areas including cardiovascular sciences, diabetes and endocrinology, immunology, haematology and pathology.
Read moreStudy shows that new technology can predict fatal heart attacks
Prof Charalambos Antoniades, working with colleagues in Erlangen, Germany and at the Cleveland Clinic, USA, have developed a new technology based on analysis of computed tomography (CT) coronary angiograms that can flag patients at risk of deadly heart attacks years before they occur.
Read moreGene Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis
Professors Deborah Gill and Stephen Hyde, together with their UK Cystic Fibrosis Gene Therapy Consortium partners, have teamed up with Boehringer Ingelheim and Oxford Biomedica to develop gene therapy for cystic fibrosis.
Read moreLifestyle factors linked to brain health of young adults
Researchers from our Department led by Prof Paul Leeson, in collaboration with researchers from Canada and the Universities of Bristol and London, have used advanced magnetic resonance imaging to investigate whether factors such as blood pressure, fitness, smoking and alcohol intake during young adult life are associated with changes in the blood vessels inside the brain.
Read more‘Family trees’ of AML treated with enasidenib mapped for the first time
The study led by MRC WIMM researchers as part of an international team aims to understand what happens when patients stop responding to treatment.
