Research activity

Description: Homepage for the Cancer Genetics and DNA Damage research domain within the School of Cancer Sciences, University of Birmingham.

Description: Research group page for Jo Morris's cancer predisposition pathways group in the School of Cancer Sciences, University of Birmingham.

Description: Cancer research at the University of Birmingham has particular strengths in leukaemia and lymphoma, paediatric cancer, urological cancers, pancreatic cancer, brain tumours and cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.

Description: The University of Birmingham is one of the leading centres in the UK for clinical trials, having a wealth of experience across a wide range of diseases, clinical settings and trial designs. The Birmingham Centre for Clinical Trials (BCCT) brings together clinical trial expertise from across the University and, in particular, the three large, well-established, UKCRC fully-registered Clinical Trials Units. The trials portfolio at the University of Birmingham is supported by a comprehensive expert infrastructure in trial methodology.

Description: The aim of the CRIC theme is to work towards a greater understanding of the physiological and pathological processes underlying the co-ordinated regulation of cardiovascular and respiratory homeostasis in health and disease. The group consists of basic scientists and clinicians from across the University studying the impact of acute and chronic disturbances of oxygen delivery and utilisation.

Description: The capacity for physical activity depends critically on optimal functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.The group studies how the integration of multiple inputs that sense metabolic and mechanical perturbations e.g. blood gases, muscle metabolic milieu and contraction status, results in appropriate autonomic neural output for regulation of blood flow, blood pressure and respiration in health and disease.

Description: Cardiovascular research in the University of Birmingham encompasses studies from the molecular and signalling pathways regulating behaviour of cells of the vasculature, to the functioning of the heart and vessels in animals, to the pathophysiology of heart failure, heart attacks and atrial fibrillation, to the impact of cardiovascular diseases on public health. We are developing ways to inhibit vascular thrombosis and inflammation, optimise blood flow, improve management of those with heart disease, and test the effects of large scale interventions on the region's health.

Description: Catalysis and chemical reaction engineering lie at the core of many chemical and biochemical processes. Research activities cover the fundamental catalyst design, through formulation and catalyst manufacture, to operational issues and reactor design.

Description: Index page for the Cellular, Immune and Gene Therapy for Cancer research domain within the Shcoll of Cancer Sciences, Univesity of Birmingham.
