Recent changes in Faculty structure have led to the formation of a Centre for Comparative and Clinical Anatomy (CCCA) which will replace the previous Department of Anatomy. The Centre is composed of 12 academic staff whose research falls under the areas of musculoskeletal science and neuroendocrinology.
Research in the Centre is internationally recognised, and is funded by research councils, charities and private industry. CCCA has excellent facilities for both research and teaching. Its links with Clinical Medicine and Clinical Veterinary Sciences provide a wide range of opportunities for translational research.
Research Groups
Musculoskeletal Research is focused on spinal degeneration and back pain, osteoporosis, and joint disorders including osteoarthritis. Investigations into the underlying causes and treatments of these disorders are carried out in collaboration with clinicians and scientists in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, the School of Clinical Veterinary Science, and the School of Archaeology and Anthropology.
Neuroendocrinology Research is concentrated in two main areas which include the neuroendocrine control of fertility and the neurobiology of stress responses. Approaches used include molecular biology, immunohistochemistry and in-vivo animal models.
