Much of our work is carried with collaborators in the Department of Pharmacology as well as partnerships with Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (Professors Ward, Biagini and Taylor) and industrial partner groups including Astra Zeneca, Eisai (Boston, USA) and GSK (Tres Cantos, Madrid, Spain). More recently we have also initiated medicinal chemistry programmes in neuropathic pain and pancreatitis.
