The Department of Physiology and Pharmacology encompasses internationally recognised research groups whose interests extend from the cell to the whole animal, ranging from cell signalling and neuropharmacology to cardiovascular/respiratory function and the study of sensory and sensorimotor systems in the intact brain.

Working collaboratively within the department and with colleagues in the UK and abroad, we use our expertise to investigate how cells and organisms function and how we might modulate their function to improve health. All staff also contribute to our high quality undergraduate teaching in B.Sc. programmes in Pharmacology, Physiological Sciences and Neuroscience, as well as to the professional medical, dental and veterinary science degree programmes.
