Staff profile for Professor Roy Bicknell, Head of the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences and Professor of Functional Genomics at the University of Birmingham, UK.
Key staff in the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences
The Department of Cardiovascular Sciences brings together more than 20 core principal investigators, with key honorary clinical colleagues from partner NHS Trusts and associate investigators from other Departments and Colleges across the University of Birmingham, to form an inter-disciplinary collaborative team able to tackle leading health issues of our time.
We are based in the College of Medicine and Health on the University campus, with colleagues in the adjacent University Hospitals Birmingham, as well as the Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust and the Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospitals. We benefit from the outstanding ability of Birmingham to facilitate translational science through the Birmingham Health Partners, the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR)/Wellcome Clinical Research Facility, the biobanking capacity of the Human Biomaterial Resource Centre and the Institute of Translational Medicine located next to the Department.
