Contents
Research Groups
Our research is focused on two strategic research themes: Infection and Immunity; and Cancer and Stem Cell Biology.
Infection and Immunity
A number of research areas are encompassed in this theme including:
* Immunology: especially autoimmunity and mucosal immunity
* Microbiology: especially bacterial pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance
* Virology: including study of important human viruses such as coronaviruses, adenoviruses, dengue viruses and Epstein Barr virus
Cancer and Stem Cell Biology
* Cancer Biology: Cancer is a major cause of death in the UK and the lifetime risk of developing cancer is about one in three. Over 50% of cancers are preventable. The overall research aim for the groups within Cancer Biology is to increase our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of cancer and to bring advances in these areas to the clinic, in terms of prevention strategies, early diagnosis and targeted novel treatments.
* Stem Cell Biology: Research includes work with both adult and embryonic human stem cells. Investigations focus on using stem cells derived from the bone marrow of elderly osteoarthritis patients to regenerate cartilage through tissue engineering strategies in the laboratory and ultimately after implantation in the patient.
