Part of the Division of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience within the School of Life Sciences, our research efforts are focussed on the study of metabolic and nutritional physiology in the context of health and disease. Our outstanding human volunteer research facilities housed in the David Greenfield Human Physiology Unit enables us to use integrative physiology and exprimental medicine approaches which are delivered by specialist clinical and research staff. We also deliver excellent multidisciplinary post-graduate research training activity to meet current UK skills gaps.
Our research straddles schools and institutional research centres of excellence, producing impactful collaboration. We have close links with colleagues at the Centre of Metabolism, Ageing and Physiology and the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre. We are core members of established research centres of excellence, including the , the , and the .
