Centre for Biomedical Education
The Centre for Biomedical Education is the home of the undergraduate science programmes at City St George's, School of Health & Medical Sciences (Tooting): BSc/MSci Biomedical Science, intercalated BSc, BSc Healthcare Science, and BSc Clinical Pharmacology. In addition, the MPharm, a Kingston University programme, is run by the centre in collaboration with Kingston University, and delivered at both sites. The centre encompasses the Undergraduate Science Administration team responsible for these programmes, and the scientific academic staff, with primary responsibility for teaching across all programmes; including undergraduate science programmes, MBBS and postgraduate courses. Members of the centre are also research active, and carry out internationally recognized research. Teaching is informed by such research experience and expertise, which is incorporated at all levels.
Paris Ataliotis is the interim head of the Centre for Biomedical Education, which encompasses over 40 members of staff. Staff are located mainly in Jenner Wing, occupying offices and labs from the basement to the second floor, with a small number of staff on the 6th floor of Hunter Wing, and with the Undergraduate Science Admin team on the ground floor of Hunter Wing.
Who we are
Over 50 members of staff are organized into six sections: Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Anatomical Sciences, Physiology, and UG Science Admin. Each section is managed by a section head.
What we do
The centre provides a structure for coordinating activities and resources between programmes and sections in the centre, with other centres, and with the research institutes, and for line management, staff development, personal review and workload planning of staff.
Our Sections
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the human body, and has been one of the pillars of biological and medical education for centuries. The Section of Anatomy is committed to delivering excellent and innovative teaching for all healthcare students.
Members of this section are engaged in research that aims to understand the basis of a variety of human disorders and diseases at the cellular level.
The Molecular Biology Section provides broad support to many degree courses at all levels within the University.
As one of the largest sections, members of the physiology section are involved in teaching, research and enterprise within the University.
Our section is committed to deliver excellent teaching and a vibrant learning environment to our undergraduate and postgraduate students in the area of pharmacology.
