Child Health: Developmental Endocrinology Research Group

The Developmental Endocrinology Research Group which is led by Professor Faisal Ahmed consists of a group of investigators who are currently based at the Yorkhill campus of the School of Medicine. The research activity in the group aims to understand the link between early life disorders of endocrine function and long-term outcome and most of their work is focussed in the fields of sex and skeletal development. Their work has been funded through a number of sources including CSO, EU, MRC, YCF, pharma and overseas governments. The group achieves its mission of performing translational research that is of clinical importance by relying on strong research partnerships with a wide range of experts in the field of clinical biochemistry, e-science, molecular genetics, imaging and molecular and cell biology that exist in Glasgow and beyond.
