New biomedical faculty 'to enhance research'
Wednesday 10th June 2009
A new faculty is to be established which is intended to increase support for biomedical scientists engaged in research.
The initiative is the result of collaboration between King's College London and the comprehensive Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) at Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation Trust.
Members of the faculty will be able to access training programmes, consultant technology and statistical advice.
Professor Graham Lord, deputy-director of the comprehensive BRC and chair of its training committee, said: "The new Faculty of Translational Medicine will underpin our exciting interdisciplinary programmes of research and the investments we have already made in research posts, facilities and equipment [and] training schemes."
He added that the faculty will provide opportunities for members to interact and collaborate to become leaders in translational medicine.
With a total of more than 19,700 students, King's College London is ranked as one of the world's top 25 universities.
