Integrative Mammalian Biology (IMB)

Integrative mammalian biology (IMB) is the study of how the body functions at a whole animal level and is central to development of new therapeutic approaches to human and animal diseases. A partnership between biomedical scientists at the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde has attracted £3m in funding from the BBSRC, BPS, HEFCE, KTN, MRC and SFC to build capacity and support leading IMB teaching and research. Integrative Mammalian Biology has its own web site at http://www.imb-glasgow.org/

Summer schools

These courses are aimed at undergraduate students and postgraduates, primarily from biomedical departments or courses within the UK, who may not have previously held a Home Office licence, but who are thinking of pursuing a career in biomedical research and who consider that this training could play an important part in their careers. It may also be possible to accommodate post-doctoral workers on these courses subject to availability. Details of summer schools are posted here.
