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 41 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:

In this study, UHPLC-MS/MS lipidomics was used to measure the dynamic changes in lipid composition as a function of age and gender throughout the lifespan of genetically identical male and female D. magna. The collaborative study between Mirbahai and Viant groups demonstrated that more than half of all lipids measured, including triglycerides and diglycerides are statistically different between female and male D. magna with age. This study provides a benchmark dataset to enhance our understanding of the significant role of lipids in regulation of health and disease. DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-62476-z.
Darius Koester, Assistant Professor in the Division of Biomedical Sciences, tells us about his research looking at the interaction and dynamics of the cell surface.
