Medical Research Council Unit for Metabolic Studies in Psychiatry, Sheffield

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  09 July 2009

Extract

The Medical Research Council Unit for Metabolic Studies in Psychiatry was set up at Middle-wood Hospital, Sheffield, in 1967. It was to a considerable extent a continuation of the Medical Research Council Unit for the Chemical Pathology of Mental Disorders which had been associated with the Department of Physiology in the University of Birmingham under the direction of Professor I. E. Bush. The latter unit had in its turn largely corne from a group headed by Sir George Pickering at Oxford.
