Pharmacy and Biomedical Science

The Pharmacy, Pharmacology and Biomedical Sciences research program at University of Portsmouth focuses on growing our understanding of how the body functions in health, how it malfunctions in disease, and the genetic and molecular drivers of physical and mental illnesses.

The Pharmacy and Biomedical Science , M.Phil. from the University of Portsmouth is researching the molecular, cellular, physiological and behavioural processes occurring in the body at times of health and disease, identifying and characterising the biomarkers of disease, and helping develop new drugs from initial discovery to clinical application with partners in industry.

Much of the research takes place at the Institute of Life Sciences and Healthcare (ILSH). Some successful projects at ILSH include researching microporous materials for environmental and drug delivery, sperm freezing to reduce the use of animals in research, and developing endoscopy methods and training to improve patient outcomes.

As a postgraduate research degree student, you'll join a collaborative research community, help find new, more effective treatments for patients, and play your part in turning knowledge into impact.
