- Description
- Research into steroid hormone action is a flagship area of hormone and metabolism research in Birmingham. Our work has clarified the role of major enzyme systems in the tissue-specific regulation of steroid action, namely of glucocorticoids and sex steroids. We have discovered novel causes of adrenal and gonadal disorders, helping to shed light on very common disorders including obesity, hypertension and polycystic ovary syndrome
- Description
- The Structural Biology & Biomarkers theme at University of Birmingham focuses on understanding the molecular basis of cancer causation and progression, and seeks to discover and develop new diagnostic and therapeutic targets and agents.
- Description
- Biological systems are of a fascinating complexity, yet are subject to the same fundamental laws of nature as any physical object in the world we live.Studying cells, organisms, and ecosystems at a molecular level helps us to elucidate fundamental principles that apply universally across all life forms. Structural biology and molecular biophysics investigates the geometrical shape of DNA and proteins, their physical and chemical properties, and how these features jointly control biological events. Such knowledge is essential to understand complex traits of living organisms, devising therapeutic intervention in disease and limiting or reversing the environmental impact of human activity.
- Description
- Research page for the Structural Biology, Biomarkers and Drug Discovery group, run by Professor Michael Overduin at the University of Birmingham.
- Description
- How to study European Law at Birmingham Law School, the Institute of European Law, and the University of Birmingham
- Description
- Info on the Summer school.
- Description
- Research in supercritical fluids encompasses the development of chemical, biochemical and bio-processes. In principle the unique properties of critical fluids have the potential to foster the development of environmentally benign and therefore sustainable processes.
