Current Research

The Department of Physiology is characterised by the diversity of its research themes and specialist techniques ranging from molecule to man.

The Department has research laboratories in the Western Gateway Building (WGB) in the Biosciences Institute (BSI) where a number of the academic staff are Principal Investigators. These research labs provide independent and shared space for the Department's research activities.
