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.

Cell signalling is the process through which cells and molecules communicate.

How cells organise, inherit and make use of the genetic and epigenetic information in chromosomes.

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

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 want to uncover fundamental biological mechanisms at a molecular level.

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.
