UCL FACULTY OF LIFE SCIENCES

UCL has led a successful multi-institutional bid for £5.4 million to fund new PhD studentships in a competition run by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).

Thomas Deane, an A-level student and member of an interdisciplinary team from UCL, has been awarded an Exscitec Platinum Award for his work in the annual International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) competition in Amsterdam. Although Deane won the award, the achievement would not have been possible without the work of the rest of the UCL undergraduate iGEM team.

At any one time a million people in England are living with long term pain which could have been prevented or be being significantly better treated, according to a joint UCL School of Pharmacy and UK Clinical Pharmacy Association report published today.

The School of Pharmacy, University of London, today merged with UCL.

The School is now a part of UCL Faculty of Life Sciences, and will officially be known as the UCL School of Pharmacy. The School will continue to provide undergraduate and postgraduate education in pharmaceutical science as well as undertaking world-leading research focused on advancing and understanding medicines and healthcare, and on creating new medicines.
