Centre for Integrative Biomedicine

King's College London has recently established the virtual Centre for Integrative Biomedicine following receipt of a major capacity building grant, aimed at addressing the skills shortage in mammalian biology research. This Centre will provide a series of new and extended in vivo training and education initiatives to a new generation of researchers in integrative pharmacology, physiology & related sciences.
 
This will allow study of whole animal function in normal and pathophysiological situations. Research will include the improved modeling of diseases and translational approaches to developing new drugs for clinical use in humans and animals. The research will aid drug discovery programmes.
 
The Centre will establish an “open door” scheme for scientists from industries and other academic institutions. All in vivo research is carried out within the context of the 3Rs.
