Research @ the CPM

The Centre for Predictive in vitro Models at Queen Mary University of London provides a virtual centre for internationally leading research associated with the development and use of sophisticated in vitro models. These includes models for a broad range of tissues/organs and different pathologies as well as research into the underpinning bioengineering that is essential for development of these models (see table and keywords wordcloud below). Within these areas, research and development activity across the CPM is focussed under the following themes: Skin; Musculoskeletal; Cardiovascular: Neuronal; Cancer: Infectious Diseases and Inflammation; and Underpinning Bioengineering
