The Centre for Integrative Physiology (CIP) was established in 2004 as an interdisciplinary research centre of the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine (CMVM), hosted within the School of Biomedical Sciences.
The mission of the CIP is:‘to develop and promote international excellence in research and training in Integrative Physiology relevant to human and mammalian physiology, development and disease’The CIP aims to foster supportive, outward-looking and cohesive multi-disciplinary programmes of research into fundamental physiological mechanisms and pathways relevant to human function and disease. CIP investigators exploit rapid advances in the enabling technologies available from genomics, proteomics, imaging and informatics to allow development of predictive modelling and in vivo analysis to understand the function of gene products at the cell, organ and whole animal level. Importantly CIP investigators exploit the most appropriate model organisms/systems to investigate the key physiological question being posed – a delicate balance between high biomedical relevance (eg, human, mouse, rat) and high genetic power (lower organisms such as Drosophila and fish). The majority of investigators are based in the Hugh Robson Building, George Square including the interdisciplinary groups in Genes & Development, Membrane Biology and Neural Control Systems with other investigators based at other sites across the CMVM and College of Science & Engineering (CS&E).
