Precision Medicine MSc

This internationally-renowned, interdisciplinary programme equips you with cutting-edge knowledge relating to the mechanistic understanding of disease. 

Professor Hugh Montgomery co-chairs the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change.

He has just been awarded £1.5m from the Oak Foundation to create action on climate change at the pace and scale required.  

The faciity includes includes: Laser Doppler for scanning sites of local experimentally induced inflammation as a quantitative marker of vascular hyper reactivity; two beds; four negative pressure pumps for the purpose of eliciting skin blisters; approved drugs cabinet; heart/blood pressure monitor and a TV system to occupy volunteers during procedures.
