Welcome to LIMM

The Leeds Institute of Molecular Medicine (LIMM) is an Institute (in the School of Medicine) dedicated to defining the molecules involved in human diseases and using this knowledge to develop novel therapies and new drugs.

The basic and clinical scientists in the twenty Sections within LIMM study the spectrum of human disease. Our bench to bedside and bedside to bench strategies are based upon our own multi-disciplinary research work and strong clinical interactions with St. James's University Hospital. By fostering research in a world-class Institute, we hope to facilitate improvements to human healthcare.
