APPENDIX 1 List of Academic Departments and Interests All the academic departments of the University are keen to offer mentors who would support candidates through the two year Academic Foundation Programme. Please note the list below is not exhaustive but gives an indication of the range of opportunities available. The Nuffield Department of Medicine (NDM). The Department is structured around several substantially autonomous sub-divisions, supported by a central administrative unit (NDM Strategic). Major Divisions are Below are given details of members of the department who may be able to advise regarding projects/mentoring in the Foundation programme. The Nuffield Department of Medicine website has more detailed descriptions of the research programmes of all listed below. To access these go to . Professor Vincenzo Cerundolo, Professor of Immunology Research interest: Immunology The interaction between the innate and adaptive immune responses, and how harnessing the innate immune system can facilitate the expansion of antigen specific T and B lymphocytes. Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine Professor Richard Cornall, Professor of Immunology Research interest: Immunology Understanding how the immune system is formed and regulated and the causes of autoimmunity, particularly the systemic autoimmune diseases. Differences in inherited susceptibility to these diseases. Henry Wellcome Building for Molecular Physiology Professor Jonathan Flint, Professor of Molecular Psychiatry Research interest: Genetics and Genomics. The genetic basis of psychiatric disorders, in particular the origins of stress related conditions, such as anxiety and depression. Knowing more about the biological basis of these very common disorders could help develop better therapies, and use more efficiently those we already have.
