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:

Impact of the protein corona on nanoparticles
The Gibsongroup are developing nanoparticles for biosensing, diagnostics, and delivery applications. A key challenge is how particles perform in ‘perfect’ conditions verses ‘real world’ when proteins found in blood can ’stick’ to the surface and compromise performance.
In their latest paper they show how nano-rods, with glycans on their surface, do indeed get ‘fouled’ by proteins, but show how this does not prevent their use in biosensing, and that in fact the release of serum proteins can be used to generate signal.

Cryopreserving blood cells with polymers
Rate of missed GP appointments unchanged for two decades, study finds.
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.
