Organization profile
The Division of Pharmacy and Optometry is a division of the School of Health Sciences.
The merging of Pharmacy with Optometry allows for broader research and teaching into the drug industry and our eye health and enhancement.
Our research focuses on four main areas:
Medicines: design and delivery
We aim to address the challenges faced in developing new clinically viable therapies, integrating structural, analytical, computational and synthetic chemistry with expertise in target biology.
We develop understanding in how and why therapies work in the body, using imaging techniques and computer modelling.
Our group comprises pharmacists, medicinal chemists, molecular pharmacologists, biochemists, modellers, biophysicists and biologists.

- North West Centre for Advanced Drug Delivery (NoWCADD)
- Nanomedicine Lab
Patients: diagnosis and therapy
We study clinical disease biology, identify targets suitable for therapeutic intervention and develop clinically relevant in vitro and in vivo models of disease.
We assess the efficacy of drug treatments, and find biological markers that can predict the likelihood of developing a disease.
Our group comprises pharmacists, cancer and cardiovascular biologists, neuropharmacologists, developmental biologists and microbiologists.
Related centres:
Optometry and vision science
We work on basic science and clinical projects to improve our understanding of structure and function of the human visual system.
We translate new knowledge into useful clinical tests, devices and commercial products.
Our group comprises optometrists with a wide range of research backgrounds, neuroscientists, ophthalmologists and biologists.

Drug usage and pharmacy practice
Our research seeks to improve medicines use and safety in society, and inform pharmacy policy and workforce behaviour, including education.
We are developing, implementing and evaluating new models and systems of healthcare practice with the ultimate aim of ensuring the safe and effective use of medicines.
Our multi-disciplinary team includes epidemiologists, social scientists, statisticians, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals.
