Biomedical Sciences
Inspired minds, inspired places
The Division of Biomedical Sciences 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. The divison is home to 37 Principal Investigators including both clinical and non-clinical academics, several jointly appointed 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:

Pathogen mapped for the first time – to understand evolution and potential treatments
A sleeping sickness parasite is the first pathogen to have its proteins located and mapped within its cells. These parasites have made large areas of Africa unsuitable for livestock production, costing rural farmers up to £3.7bn each year.
For the first time ever, scientists have developed a detailed “protein atlas” of a pathogen – a kind of biological map that locates proteins in cells. They conducted the research on Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei), helping to understand where proteins are within its cells, providing functional insights that may ultimately help treat parasite infections.
