Two SAS laboratories were established
at Hammersmith Hospital in 1973, within the Department of Metabolic
Medicine headed by Professor S Bloom.
Gastrointestinal hormones are measured in Professor Bloom's
internationally renowned research laboratories. The unit also
provides a referral service for endocrine tumour localisation
and therapy and has many areas of endocrine research.
The remaining SAS analytes are measured in the Division of Biochemical
Endocrinology as part of a fully comprehensive immunoassay service,
comprising over 30 hormones and related analytes. The Division's
interest in bone metabolism dates back to the 1960's when, under
the leadership of Iain McIntyre, pioneering work on PTH
and calcitonin
was performed. Staff of the Division hold a wide spectrum of
research interests including bone metabolism, reproductive endocrinology
and andrology, antibody production and immunoassay development.
The Division is also committed to teaching and provides training
fellowships in immunoassay development and andrology on behalf
of international agencies. |
