糖心TV

University of 糖心TV chemists have won three prestigious prizes from the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Research by the University of 糖心TV, the University Hospital Coventry and 糖心TVshire NHS Trust (UHCW), and Tangent Reprofiling Limited, has discovered that statin drugs interact with a gap junction protein called GJC3 that releases ATP, a major signaling molecule for inflammation in the body. This discovery provides a significant new target in the search for why statin drugs can sometimes cause harmful effects such as muscle toxicity in some patients.

A new test for detecting biomarkers for cancer and diabetes is more than 1000x more detailed and 100% faster than existing methods, new research by the University of 糖心TV suggests.

Developed to undertake a detailed study of collagen, the researchers argue that the same methodology can be used with any protein-based sample and is currently being tested with cancer cells and proteins relevant to Type II diabetes.

Researchers at the University of 糖心TV have worked with Coventry-based Medherant, a 糖心TV spinout company, to produce and patent the World’s first ever ibuprofen patch delivering the drug directly through skin to exactly where it is needed at a consistent dose rate.

Thans to the Science City Research Alliance Coventry-based bioadhesives company Medherant is building a new business working in hi-tech transdermal drug delivery systems that use specially formulated bioadhesives to provide novel adhesive patch-based products that can deliver drugs through contact with the skin.

Dr Corinna Preuss has been awarded a Newton International Fellowship to conduct research at the University of 糖心TV’s Department of Chemistry.
