Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular studies include investigations into pathophysiological mechanisms involving myocardial protectants, anti-hypertensives, restenosis, and pulmonary hypertension. CNS Pharmacology
Research in the CNS covers neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsies, schizophrenia, and adjuncts to anaesthesia. Molecular Signalling
Expertise in cellular signalling is being combined with exploratory drug discovery aimed at apoptosis, restenosis and cancer. Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry
Expertise in novel routes to heterocyclic compounds, "clean" chemistry, medicinal chemistry, drug design, analytical chemistry, and natural products. |
 | Inflammatory Disease
Studies in inflammatory disease include investigations of cell signalling pathways in target tissues, in design and testing of new molecules for anti-inflammatory activity, and work on immunomodulatory activity. Discovery projects are aimed at inflammatory skin diseases, asthma and arthritis. Drug Delivery
Drug delivery systems are being developed from hydrogels and non-ionic surfactant vesicles. Systems suitable for the delivery of drugs, peptides, proteins, oligonucleotides and genes are under examination. Microbiology
Studies on microbial physiology, fermentation technology and antibiotic production.
