Warwick Institute of Translational Medicine
Translational Health Research at Warwick
Our priority is to create an eco-system where translational research thrives, and the flow of knowledge and innovation between scientific discovery, pre-clinical research, clinical trials and healthcare practice is seamless, bidirectional, and part of business as usual. We are unlocking the impact potential of our research and accelerating the delivery of practical human health benefits through new therapeutics, devices & diagnostics, process innovation, and other interventions.
Health Missions
Our Health Missions are designed to bring together all the necessary expertise and experience to tackle major health challenges facing our society. This demands we build mission-specific local ecosystems that connect warwick researchers with other universities, NHS partners, local government, third sector organisations and patients themselves - all with shared purpose and clear goals:
Women's Health
We are working to transform the health of women across the life course with our multi-disciplinary research community. Our mission is to drive change through new diagnostics and interventions, whilst generating evidence and shaping policy, informed at every step by the voices of the women and girls at the heart of the endeavour.
Mental Health & Wellbeing
Mental Health conditions affect almost 1 billion people globally, the impact is devastating and contributes significantly to the global burden of disease. Research into mental health is urgently required to address these challenges. To make breakthroughs we seek to accelerate challenge-focused programmes.
Infectious Disease
Our mission is to advance the understanding and control of infectious diseases through rigorous scientific research and strategic partnerships. We are committed to developing innovative diagnostic tools, effective treatments, and robust prevention and preparedness strategies. By generating data and evidence, we drive policy changes for regional, national and global health protection.
