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:

Wellcome Bioimaging Award - A Multi-modal Imaging Platform Using Light-Sheet and Photostable Probes for Quantitative Cell and Tissue-Scale Biology
Satyajit Mayor, Mohan Balasubramanian and Masanori Mishima along with a group in the USA (Abhishek Kumar at Marine Biological laboratories- MBL- WoodsHole) have been awarded a Wellcome Trust Bioimaging Award.
In Phase 1 of this project, feasibility, proof-of-principle, and ease of use of the prototype light-sheet system with three detection modalities using existing and new fluorescent proteins will be established. In Phase 2, we explore a breadth of biological questions through investigation of model membranes, cultured cells (yeast, mammalian), and animal models (nematode, fly, fish). Our ultimate goal is to develop transformative imaging technology including optics and probes for widespread use by quantitative cell biologists everywhere.
