In their words...
We are delighted to be commencing building works in this, the 10th anniversary year of WMS. The Medical School has gone from strength to strength over the last decade and this new facility is a testament to the hard work of our staff to continue to strive to push the boundaries of clinical research.
Vice-Chancellor of the University of Warwick, Professor Nigel Thrift
Over the last year, Warwick has encouraged CMCB scientists to work closely with the building design team - what has emerged is a unique, state-of-the art customized environment for research into the machinery of living cells – defects in which are important in cancer and in reproductive, neurological and cardiovascular disease. The new building will have a tremendous impact on our science, and is an important symbol of the commitment of WMS to world class biomedical research.
Director of the new Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology, Professor Rob Cross
We are delighted that Birmingham Science City is able to support the Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology, through funding from Advantage West Midlands. Together with the expertise of the Science City Research Alliance, this building will form a key component of research into translational medicine in the West Midlands region, which is playing such an important part in treating the problems of tomorrow today.
