Research Themes
Bringing together researchers and clinicians to address the world's most pressing biological, medical and health problems.
Ageing and Geroscience
This theme aims to tackle the global challenge associated with increased ageing.
Applied Cancer Therapeutics and Outcomes
This research theme encompasses translational and applied cancer research within the Faculty.
Behavioural Science and Psychology
We aim to understand the behaviour of whole organisms, covering both humans and non-human animal species.
Discovery of Medicines
Translating the latest research findings into new medicines for the treatment of human diseases.
Chromosome Biology and the Cell Cycle
How cells organise, inherit and make use of the genetic and epigenetic information in chromosomes.
Immunity and Inflammation
We study immunity and inflammation across the life-course, in health and disease.
Innovation, Methodology and Application
We lead cutting edge research by developing novel and existing methodologies and technologies.
Multimorbidity and Long Term Conditions
We improve lives through world-class translational research into multimorbidity and long term conditions.
Mitochondrial and Neuromuscular Diseases
We want to transform the promise of scientific advances into revolutionary treatments. We hope this restores neuromuscular and mitochondrial health.
Molecular and Cellular Microbiology
Microorganisms play critical roles in all major aspects of life on earth.
Molecular Mechanisms of Life
We want to uncover fundamental biological mechanisms at a molecular level.
Neuroscience, Neurodisability and Neurological Disorders
We are a diverse group of scientists and clinicians who aim to understand how the nervous system works, in both health and disease.
Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism
We deliver world-class research to understand how different factors affect health and wellbeing.
Precision Medicine, Genomics and Informatics
We aim to improve treatments to benefit patients and enhance health and wellbeing. We achieve this by exploiting multidimensional clinical, genetic, pathological and molecular data.
Regenerative Medicine, Stem Cells, Transplantation
This theme brings together a team of internationally-recognised scientists.
Public Health and Health Inequalities
The Public Health and Health Inequalities theme undertakes innovative research and teaching.
Reproduction, Development and Child Health Research
Early life is a critical phase in long-term health and wellbeing.
Vascular Biology and Medicine
We conduct research into fundamental vascular mechanisms and the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
