Tackling healthcare challenges
Our research is core to unravelling some of the biggest challenges in society and health care today. The focus of our life science cluster will vary from cell and molecular biology to genetics and epigenetics, microbiology and bioinformatics.
Research Aims
To understand the mechanisms behind some major disease challenges i.e microbial resistance and the nature nurture interaction in respiratory diseases
To provide research for academics and students that are orientated towards life sciences research
To support the development of research themes and groups within life sciences.
Male Contraceptive Research Consortium
The male contraceptive research consortium, coordinated by Professor John Howl at Birmingham City University, are researching technologies for a clinically useful male contraceptive. The research is in partnership with academics at the University of Wolverhampton, University of Aveiro, São Paulo State University, and University of Queensland.
