Welcome

The Division of Therapeutics and Molecular Medicine is part of the School of Clinical Sciences and the Nottingham NIHR Respiratory Biomedical Research Unit. Members of the Division perform both laboratory and translational research around the molecular pathology and genetics of lung diseases including asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).

Lead Personnel/Research Groups

• Dr Simon Johnson, Head of Division
• Professor Ian Hall, Dean of the Medical School
• Dr Ian Sayers, Associate Professor

Main research areas

• Cell and molecular biology of airway remodelling
• Genetics and pharmacogenetics of asthma and atopy
• Molecular pathology of lymphangioleiomyomatosis and pulmonary fibrosis
• Calcium homeostasis in airway smooth muscle
• Hyperpolarised gas lung imaging

See research news and recent publications for more information. 

Postrgraduate Studies

The Division has an active research training programme for both clinical and non-clinical postgraduate students leading to PhD and DM degrees.

We currently have multiple PhD studentships available for October 2012 and encourage informal enquires (to ian.sayers@nottingham.ac.uk, cc louise.sabir@nottingham.ac.uk ).
