Molecular mechanisms of long-term conditions
Our research in the theme of long-term conditions spans a number of areas and also has links to public health. Research in life sciences is integrated with other projects and across the school and aims to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying a number of key long-term conditions. In addition, novel therapies for associated conditions are also being investigated.
We also have a significant number of PhD students. Please refer to the Graduate School if you would like to submit an application.
