Centre for Integrative Mammalian Physiology & Pharmacology

Introduction

The Centre for Integrative Mammalian Physiology and Pharmacology (CIMPP) was established in 2007 with a mission to;

1. Train young scientists in in vivo research via PhD studentships and the Master of Research degrees in Experimental Physiology and Drug Discovery and Experimental Physiology and Drug Discovery (Bio-Imaging).
2. Advance in vivo research and provide a forum for discussion
3. Develop and enhance public understanding of the importance of in vivo work in medical research.

The CIMPP at Imperial College is one of four centres within the UK funded by a partnership between the BBSRC, the Higher Education Funding Council for England, Medical Research Council, Scottish Funding Council, British Pharmacological Society's Integrative Pharmacology Fund (donors: AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer) and the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills.

The Centre, led by Professor Julia C Buckingham, brings together in vivo researchers at all career levels across the college and encompasses a range of prominent disease areas;

Cardiovascular and Respiratory
Endocrinology and Metabolism
Inflammation and Immunology
Infection
Neuroscience
Pain 

The CIMPP hosts an Annual Symposium in September and a monthly seminar programme organised by Dr Felicity Gavins and Ms Elaine Snell. The seminar programme includes exciting advances in research, skills presentations and workshops. For more details and registration information please click here.
