Pharmacy, Pharmacology and Biomedical Sciences Research (MPhil/PhD)

University of Portsmouth

Take your research in Pharmacy, Pharmacology and Biomedical Sciences further by exploring how the body functions in health, how it malfunctions in disease, and the genetic and molecular drivers of physical and mental illness. Investigate molecular, cellular, physiological and behavioural processes occurring in the body at times of health and disease, helping to identify and characterise disease biomarkers that can improve understanding and care. Be part of research that supports the development of new drugs, from early discovery through to clinical application - alongside partners in industry. Much of this work sits within the Institute of Life Sciences and Healthcare (ILSH), where projects range from microporous materials for environmental and drug delivery, sperm freezing to reduce the use of animals in research, and developing endoscopy methods and training to improve patient outcomes. Depending on your research project, you could work in our European Xenopus Resource Centre, which supports researchers using Xenopus models.
