School of Biomedical Sciences

Our school investigates the fundamental biological and physiological principles underpinning human function, in health and disease. Our research is organised into six distinct research groups. Our goal is to translate our research findings for clinical benefit and to achieve optimal human function across the lifespan.

Working hard to achieve our goals are our academics.

Research impact

We're working on research to change lives, and change the world. Here are some examples of our high impact case studies:

Novel spinal injury rehabilitation procedures

Research carried out by Dr Ichiyama has led to the development of a rehabilitation training regime people with spinal cord injuries causing complete paralysis to walk again.

Regenerative medical technology

Professors Eileen Ingham and John Fisher, who lead an interdisciplinary team from Biological Sciences and Engineering, undertook research to address this issue of rejection by developing a method to gently remove the cellular components, including DNA, from donor tissues.
