University of Staffordshire Biomedical Science

All these women and more remind us how powerful women’s voices and determination can be. Here’s to the past, present, and future of women inspiring change, breaking barriers, and shaping the world. #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInScience #IWD #WomenWhoInspire #UniversityOfStaffs

Pioneers like Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, who helped discover HIV and advance treatments Gertrude B. Elion, who developed life-saving medicines used to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases and infections Tu Youyou, whose discovery of artemisinin revolutionised malaria treatment

Celebrating International Women’s Day and the incredible women who came before us 💜🔬 The photos in this video show our women in science today — researchers, technicians and students who are continuing the work that so many remarkable women began before us.

Exploring the unseen campus microbiome! 3 of our project stars are swabbing door handles, surfaces, phones, and more to see what bacteria are lurking around uni life #Microbiology #BiomedResearch #BiomedicalScience #UniversityOfStaffordshire

Who knew such tiny hearts could teach us so much? 📷📷 #HealthcareScience #BiomedicalScience #Daphnia #UniversityOfStaffordshire #ApprenticesInSTEM

By planning, conducting, and analysing their results, our apprentices learned how pharmacological and lifestyle factors can influence heart rate — linking molecular effects in Daphnia to real-world human physiology.

Caffeine, Cold Meds & Tiny Hearts! Our Healthcare Science Apprenticeship students got up close with some very small patients this week — Daphnia!

And just like in humans, these same principles explain why our genetic makeup gives rise to unique traits from eye colour to enzyme activity. Because whether it’s onions or people, it all comes down to the genes! #BiomedicalScience #MendelianGenetics #UniversityOfStaffordshire

“We’ve Got Layers — Just Like Our Onions!” Our biomed students proved that science really does have layers! They extracted DNA from red and white onions, uncovering how genetic differences control pigment production the genes behind anthocyanins that give red onions their colour

It’s not just numbers — it’s about understanding how cells behave, thrive, and respond to their environment. These are the skills that bridge classroom learning to real biomedical research! #BiomedicalScience #CellCulture #Haemocytometer #CellCounting #UniversityOfStaffordshire

Tissue culture takeover! Our Biomedical Science students have been diving deep into the world of cell culture — exploring how we grow, count, and assess the health of mammalian cells in the lab!
