About Us

The Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine is one of the largest and most successful centres for research and education in the UK. The Faculty was created as a result of the merger of elements of the School of Biomedical Sciences with the School of Medicine. The merger brings together basic, translational and clinical scientists to provide new cross-School research collaborations while optimising the deployment of teaching expertise across the Faculty. The Faculty has unparalleled expertise in basic, translational and clinical research in: analytical and forensic science; asthma and allergy; biophysics and cell biology; cancer; cardiovascular; nutrition and diabetes; genetics; infection and immunology; imaging and biomedical engineering; transplantation immunology; pharmaceutical science; physiology and women\\\\\\\’s health. We also have thriving research programmes in global health, and health and social care. Further information about the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine may be found at

Within FoLSM, the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences is a cutting-edge research and teaching School dedicated to development, translation and clinical application within medical imaging and computational modelling technologies. Our objective is to facilitate research and teaching guided by clinical questions and is aimed at novelty, understanding of physiology and pathophysiology as well as development of new diagnostic tools and therapies. In this way, basic science can be rapidly translated into clinical applications (and vice versa). The School consists of eight research departments: Cardiovascular Imaging, Cancer Imaging, Early Life Imaging, Imaging Chemistry & Biology, Biomedical Computing, Surgical & Interventional Engineering, Imaging Physics & Engineering and Digital Twins for Healthcare.

The Research Department of Imaging Chemistry and Biology comprises a group of ca. 50 scientific and clinical researchers who drive translational radiopharmaceutical development, theragnostics, nanotechnology, metallomics, immuno-imaging, metabolic imaging, functional cardiac imaging, radiobiology, and engineering solutions for GMP radiopharmaceutical production. Embedding highly innovative scientists alongside clinical staff in a hospital environment has offered an unparalleled opportunity for translational impact that is being realised across the world-leading research infrastructure.
