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:

Biomedical Sciences News
Using unnatural sugars to target galectins
The GibsonGroup, as part of a large BBSRC/Innovate funded collaboration have published their latest results into using nanomaterials to probe glycan-binding events. In this collaborative work, a combined chemical and enzymatic synthetic route was exploited to generate glycans which could be attached to nanoparticles for glycan/lectin screening - a platform technology developed by the GibsonGroup. Using this approach, it was shown that selective addition of fluorine atoms allow selective binding of galectins which is not possible using natural disaccharides, and may offer a route for targeting therapies and diagnostics. https://doi.org/10.1039/D0SC05360K
Modelling of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection frequency
WMS/UHCW Covid response wins International Pathology Conference poster competition
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.
