Research Themes

This theme aims to tackle the global challenge associated with increased ageing.

This research theme encompasses translational and applied cancer research within the Faculty.

We aim to understand the behaviour of whole organisms, covering both humans and non-human animal species.

We investigate the fundamental cellular, genetic, and molecular mechanisms of life, in health and disease.

Translating the latest research findings into new medicines for the treatment of human diseases.

We have a vibrant research community within the HNERC, with research spanning many different fields of nutritional and exercise sciences.

We study immunity and inflammation across the life-course, in health and disease.

We lead cutting edge research by developing novel and existing methodologies and technologies.

We improve lives through world-class translational research into multimorbidity and long term conditions.

Improving the care and outcomes of patients.

Investigating microbial interactions in human hosts.

We want to transform the promise of scientific advances into revolutionary treatments. We hope this restores neuromuscular and mitochondrial health.

Microorganisms play critical roles in all major aspects of life on earth.

We are a diverse group of scientists and clinicians who aim to understand how the nervous system works, in both health and disease.

We deliver world-class research to understand how different factors affect health and wellbeing.

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.

The Public Health and Health Inequalities theme undertakes innovative research and teaching.

This theme brings together a team of internationally-recognised scientists.

Our research increases understanding of key early life events influencing life-course health and well-being.

We conduct research into fundamental vascular mechanisms and the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
