Overview

Pharmacy and Biomedical Science at University of Portsmouth

We're researching the molecular, cellular, physiological and behavioural processes occurring in the body at times of health and disease. We're identifying and characterising the biomarkers of disease, and helping develop new drugs from initial discovery to clinical application with our partners in industry.

Much of our research takes place at the Institute of Biological and Biomedical Sciences (IBBS). Some of our successful projects at IBBS include researching microporous materials for environmental and drug delivery, sperm freezing to reduce the use of animals in research, and developing endoscopy methods and training to improve patient outcomes. 100% of our impact case studies in the area of Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy were rated as very considerable in terms of their reach and significance in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021).

As a postgraduate research degree student, you'll join our collaborative research community, help find new, more effective treatments for patients, and play your part in turning knowledge into impact.
