With our prolific research team, fully dedicated laboratories and high international profile, this is the ideal place to pursue your biomedical science research. You’d be joining a group that specialises in the molecular mechanisms underpinning the pathogenesis and aetiology of mammalian diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease and chronic myeloproliferative diseases. We’ve a large academic team ready to support you in your research both formally through regular reviews and informally as needed. Alongside this you’ll enjoy comprehensive training in research methods and our advanced laboratory equipment and techniques. The scientific facilities available to you include two tissue culture laboratories and a molecular biology research laboratory (see ‘facilities’ for more details). These are for the group’s exclusive use. There’ll also be the opportunity to present your work and represent us at national and international scientific conferences – and you’ll be fully immersed in the group’s research activities.

We’ll thoroughly equip you for your research programme and wider career. Training includes a one-week certified training programme in tissue culture, with additional technical instruction as required. You’ll also be trained in academic research skills such as scientific writing, library use, ethics and conference presentation.
