Research Capabilities
There are no limits to the demand for technological advances in healthcare. That’s why we are driving innovation-led research with real-world impact, to address current and future global health challenges.
Our state-of the art research centres, multidisciplinary approach, and collaborative research with organisations and businesses, mean we lead the way in solving the health issues which impact society and the way we live our lives.
Brain, behaviour, mental health & wellbeing
Approximately one in four people experience a mental health issue each year in the UK, and a new approach, and digital and technological solutions, are needed to combat this crisis.
Data science & AI for health
AI has the potential to drastically improve the efficiency of the UK’s healthcare services, leading the way to a faster, simpler, and fairer system.
Diagnostics & devices
With overwhelming pressure on health services, advanced, accessible diagnostic solutions could help address critical healthcare challenges.
Evaluation and implementation in practice
There is a mismatch between the health needs of the population and the current system set up to meet them. We need to shift towards preventative measures and early intervention using new technologies and workforce models to transform healthcare.
Infectious diseases
Infectious diseases pose an ever-increasing threat to public health and wellbeing across the globe, causing a quarter of deaths worldwide with significant consequences for healthcare systems and economies. By developing innovative diagnostic tools, effective treatments, and robust prevention and preparedness strategies, we aim to mitigate the risk and impact of infectious diseases.
Women’s health
Women spend a significantly greater proportion of their lives in ill health and disability compared with men, despite having a longer life expectancy in the UK. In addressing this challenge of improving the health of women, developing cohesive accessible care, better diagnosis, and new treatments are key.
