Themes

Our Faculty champions research and innovation from discovery to ‘real world’ implementation. Spanning the breadth of health and life sciences, our researchers work to discover the fundamental principles of biology and to address grand challenges in key areas of national and global unmet need. 

We're dedicated to delivering high-quality, internationally competitive research. Cross-disciplinary collaboration and strong engagement with the NHS, industry and government partners is key to our success.

Across the Faculty, we have identified three key areas which highlight our research strengths and opportunities for growth, which are underpinned by two significant cross-cutting platforms. 

Strategic priorities

  • Developing medicines more efficiently, embedding advanced treatments into routine clinical care, and developing policies that direct treatment for the most impact.

  • Tackling the stalling progress in healthy life expectancy in high income countries and identifying the drivers of ill health.

  • Tackling infectious diseases, from disease surveillance through to vaccine development.

  • Cross-cutting platforms in multiomics and data science, driving understanding of biological systems from the molecular to the population level into actionable insights.
