Application for funding of intensive short courses in integrative biology. (360G-Wellcome-083508_Z_07_Z)
The production of suitably-qualified medical researchers is essential not only for drug research and development (a major contributor to UK science and economy), but also for the development of further alternatives to animals for pharmacological and toxicological screening of new chemicals and drugs. During their careers, well-trained biological researchers will minimise the usage of animals and any unavoidable suffering by conducting well-considered and expertly-designed experiments. The British Pharmacological Society (BPS) and the Physiological Society have joined together since 2002 to provide short courses that enable undergraduate (in their penultimate year) and postgraduate students and when appropriate postdoctoral workers in pharmacology, physiology, biomedical sciences or related degrees to gain an in depth understanding of in vivo research techniques. The courses are aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students who are intending to pursue a career in integrative biomedical research.
