Welcome to the VAMP lab webpage, from the links above you can find out about the research being carried out in the lab, the people in the lab, our facilities, and the courses taught by Mike Dodd.

Feel free to visit our facebook page/group also as I try in vain to maintain the image that I am young and hip (we closed down our myspace page last week)
