Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Facility

The Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Facility supports our extensive biomedical research activities in areas relating to immunology, cell-based therapy, bio-materials science, neuroscience, pharmacology and toxicology.

It is based at Clifton Campus and has seen a huge amount of investment over recent years, totalling over £2.3 million.

The facility caters to a range of interests within the field of biomedical science, including the study of:

  • Human disease
  • Forensic science
  • Cognitive health
  • Sports performance
  • Bio-mathematical study of complex systems
  • Medical imaging (MRI).

World-class research collaborations

Research students work in laboratories and research offices on-site, regularly taking part in collaborative work. Our research groups will share their expertise and work with a range of national and international centres of research excellence.

The facility is well-equipped with tools for:

  • Genomic research, including real-time PCR equipment
  • Thermal analysis (Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Thermal Gravimetric analysis) and atomic force microscopy for materials science
  • Multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopy
  • Mammalian cell culture and immunochemistry
  • Proteomics: 2-D gel electrophoresis with DIGE capability
  • Proteomics: Kratos / Shimadzu Axima CFR+ MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer.

Our research and impact

Research is about more than writing papers and proposing new ideas. It’s about bringing together the brightest minds to reimagine research and find the answers to the questions that really matter.
