Project overview Wessex Medical Research Innovation Grant 2024 Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups Institute for Life Sciences We bring together interdisciplinary researchers with expertise across the themes of health and medicine, living systems, disruptive life technologies, and insights through data Cell and Developmental Biology We explore how molecular interactions between proteins and small molecules, defined at atomic resolution, govern biochemical output and in turn control cell behaviour. Microbiology We work on topics like patient treatment regimens, catheter design and management, and surgical instrument decontamination. Molecular and Precision Biosciences We research how molecular machinery governs cellular life, developing tools to tackle diseases caused when these molecular operations are disrupted. Neuroscience We work on national and global priorities of health and well-being, underpinning research in neuroscience, and age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s.
