A BIOMEDICAL research facility has been launched at the University of Central Lancashire, which has an East Lancashire campus.

The series of high-tech laboratories have been designed to focus multi-disciplinary postgraduate research across a breadth of biomedical fields, including research in the fields of brain tumours, anti-cancer, antibiotics, Alzheimer’s, DNA profiling and molecular biology.

Professor Bob Lea, a UCLan expert in neuroscience, said: “This fantastic new facility is all about bringing together our researchers with health professionals.”
