I am an academic cardiologist who joined the LMS as an academic clinical fellow in Professor Stuart Cook's group in 2018. I then undertook my PhD with Professor Cook and Professor Jesus Gil investigating the effect of interleukin-11 on the myocardium. The atmosphere in the LMS is ideally suited to encouraging collaboration both at higher levels between groups and at the level of individual researchers to share expertise and practical tips.

The facilities available in the LMS are outstanding including the state-of-the-art experimental animal facility and access to the core facilities such as genomics, bioinformatics and transgenics. You are surrounded by experts willing and able to help you achieve your research goals and teamwork is really valued here and a key part of the culture.
