Facilities
The School of Pharmacy is located in three buildings on the University Park campus:
The Boots Science Building (above) is primarily a research building, housing 'The Laboratory of Biophysics and Surface Analysis', and some groups within the Divisions of Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering and Molecular and Cellular Science. The EPSRC AstraZeneca Doctoral Training Centre is also housed in the Boots Science Building - this is a the new centre of excellence in “Targeted Therapeutics” - the science of delivering drugs to where they are most needed in the body.
The Pharmacy School Building (right) is used primarily for teaching purposes and houses all of our teaching laboratories, as well as the teaching Pharmacy. The Division of Social Research in Medicines and Health occupies part of the top floor of the building
The School also occupies significant space in the Centre for Biomolecular Sciences (CBS) building (above) with several groups based there from the Divisions of Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery and Molecular and Cellular Science , as well as all staff and laboratories from the Division of Medicinal Chemistry and Structural Biology.
The CBS is a £25m, multidisciplinary research building that brings together 300 world-leading scientists from across seven different scientific disciplines to tackle key health priorities for the UK in drug discovery, cancer research, stem cell science, bacteriology and regenerative medicine. It represents a flagship collaboration between researchers in seven of the University's schools: medicine, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, pharmacy, molecular biology and human development.
