A greater, more comprehensive understanding of human biology and disease is the primary goal of our research.

We undertake vital research in nutrigenomics, functional foods, prostate cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and paediatric nutrition.

We teach pharmacology and toxicology and have many active research programmes in diverse areas of biomedical research.

Physiology is the study of how the body functions in health and disease, driven by questions relating to fundamental science and disease mechanisms.
