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.
