The Lab

We are part of the BHF Centre of Excellence located in the James Black Centre at King's College London, which accommodates a large component of the School of Cardiovascular Medicine & Sciences. This facility houses groups working on molecular haematology, neurobiology, translational stem research and transplantation. It provides a highly multi-disciplinary environment with excellent core facilities including genomics, proteomics, mulitphoton confocal microscopy and MRI.
