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.
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.
Our Mission is to deliver research-informed educational experiences that develop highly skilled graduates and clinicians capable of contributing to our broader goal of tackling the major health challenges facing society
We help bridge the gap between academic discoveries and real-world applications. We support milestone driven project management, funding & investment, network building, and industry partnerships.
We are home to a growing number of clinical academics and are building a dynamic research community with our partner NHS Trusts. We are also home to Warwick's NIHR integrated academic training programme.

Significant stories/memories
I remember graduating from Warwick MBChB in 2011. I was given a small brown envelope which I had been asked to fill in on my first week at WMS. Inside it I needed to write a message to myself which I would then read just prior to Final Professional Examinations. When I received the envelope I had completely forgotten all about it and what was in it. I'll never forget the day I opened it though. Inside I had written 'Happiness is a choice. Remember how much they is to be happy about. You can do anything if you put your mind to it! Anything!'. It really gave me a final boost to revise for those final exams and I thought it was a brilliant exercise for Warwick to do. Now I teach at WMS and work as Academic lead for CCE in Phase II. It's been an amazing journey from that first acceptance letter to Warwick (another day I'll never forget- and I still have it) to now standing behind the desk in the main lecture theatre and being the one lucky enough to teach our students!
