Blizard Building and Centre of the Cell Yvonne Carter Building
This building was originally built in 1978-1981 and financed by the Harold Hyam Wingate Foundation for the Gastrointestinal Science Research Unit of the London Medical College. It contained laboratories and offices essential in adding in their research. However, in 2002-2004, the building underwent renovations and was since renamed the Wingate Institute of Neurogastroenterology.
