Biomedical Sciences
Inspired minds, inspired places
The Biomedical Sciences Directorate (BMS) has a vision to build world-class Discovery Science and Translational Medicine programmes in partnership with the University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire (UHCW); deliver interdisciplinary educational programmes; and transmit new knowledge to the wider world through an exciting public engagement interface.
Home to 40 Principal Investigators, including clinical and non-clinical academics, BMS has several joint appointments with other departments to drive interdisciplinary work.
Leading edge research centres and programmes
Our Principal Investigators lead key University-wide research centres, externally supported research programmes and innovative education initiatives:
Events and seminars
BMS Seminar: Single-molecule studies of RNA virus replication, Dr Nicole Robb; Interlocking nanomechanics of kinesin and microtubules, Professor Robert Cross

ATP-controlled remodeling in reconstituted actomyosin
This work was conducted by Sedigheh (Mobi) Ghanbarzadeh and Darius Koester in close collaboration with collaboration with theorists Sami Al-Izzi and Richard Morris from the School of Physics, UNSW Sydney (both alumni of Warwick) and discusses how different levels of ATP (our loved fuel for molecular motors and other cellular processes) can lead to different dynamics and patterns of force generation by membrane tethered actomyosin networks. Inspired by experimental observations, we developed a new way of using a hydrodynamics approach to describe a hierarchical system of membrane tethered actin networks with a layer of force generating myosin motors atop that interact with each other while taking into account how myosin motor activity and affinity to actin depends on ATP concentrations.
