Untitled[edit]

I've been looking for an accessible (= free fulltext) source for the pharmacokinetics data, as well as an update on the mechanism of action.

PMID 3362187 may be of historical interest. JFW | T@lk 10:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Update needed[edit]

List of institutes , centres and units needs updating. I've done Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol & Cambridge but the rest needs checking and updating too from the MRC website - e.g. Oxford is wrong. Qwfp (talk) 14:40, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed update[edit]

I would like to add a confirmed list of Chairmen to this page but as I'm an employee I just thought I'd flag it here first before moving forward - cheers --Jukesie (talk) 08:46, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like appropriate and highly uncontroversial and non-promotional content, so feel free to make the addition. Thanks for flagging your COI.Rangoon11 (talk) 13:29, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And another..[edit]

Hello, also a member of MRC staff and self confessed Wikipedia newbie; I am looking to add citations as requested but please do give me a nudge if I do anything wrong Algreenhalgh (talk) 10:46, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update on a section - conflict of interest to declare[edit]

Hi I've just updated the section about the National Phenome Centre as this was a bit out of date. I work there so want to flag potential conflict of interest and would appreciate checking of this please. DancingBal (talk) 15:04, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
