Pharmacology & Therapeutics

The Cheshire and Merseyside region brings together several centres of excellence, such as:

• The University of Liverpool’s MRC funded Centre for Drug Safety Science – conducts fundamental clinical and basic research into the causes, characteristics and consequences of adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
• The Wolfson Centre for Personalised Medicine – the primary focus of the centre is the identification of predictive biomarkers of drug safety and efficacy with the aim of translation from ‘bench-to-bedside’. The Centre puts significant emphasis into education of clinicians and scientists alike, as well as public engagement activities to promote personalised medicine.
• Liverpool Clinical Laboratories – the largest pathology service provider in Cheshire and Merseyside. LCL brings together the pathology clinical services and laboratories of the Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

LHP is currently recruiting a lead for its Pharmacology and Therapeutics theme and a strategy is to be developed in 2020.
