Publications

Members of ICAL have published in a range of high ranking, internationally respected journals including: Science, Nature, Nature Communications, PNAS, Proceedings of the Royal Society Series B., Journal of the Royal Society Interface, and Biology Letters. The ICAL senior management team - Professor Roy Wogelius, Professor Andrew Chamberlain, Dr Mike Buckley, Dr Russell Garwood, Dr Robert Sansom, Professor Phillip Manning, and Regius Professor Philip Withers -  have published in excess of 150 peer-reviewed papers in the past three years.

The ICAL Pure Project has a publication list for the centre, as well as details of news coverage and grants awarded to ICAL members.
