Biomedical Research Centre
About Us
The BMRC was established using funds from the Wellcome Trust and Wolfson Foundation and provides lab space for over 100 scientists from the Schools of Medicine, Biological Sciences and Pharmacy.
Areas of research under investigation include: cancer, arthritis, atherosclerosis, diet and health, type II diabetes, cardiomyopathy, deafness, muscular dystrophy, and aspects of viral, parasitic and bacterial infection. The BMRC’s Disease Modelling Unit uses transgenic and gene knockout model systems and has a containment Level 3 laboratory for handling pathogenic organisms. The intention is to maximize integration and create an environment that will allow BMRC researchers to respond flexibly to new challenges and opportunities.
