Improving the health of the world's population
Our main motivation is to improve the health of the world’s population. We carry out research on the major diseases and conditions affecting people across the globe, including ageing-related conditions, cancer, diabetes, infection and cardiovascular disease. Using our state-of-the-art Cardiovascular Imaging Facility, we explore specialist areas such as heart physiology, haemostasis, thrombosis and atherosclerosis.
Our exploration of the fundamental basis of the healthy and disease states focuses on identifying new strategies for maintaining and improving wellbeing. Our research incorporates experimental approaches such as bioinformatics, biomolecular, biophysical and disease modelling, and physiological, structural and systems biology. We also have research interests in novel therapies for muscular dystrophy, factors controlling fertility, hormonal control of behaviour and transmissible diseases.
We bring together world-leading academics from biomedical engineering and biomedical sciences to better develop solutions to improve healthcare and conduct cutting-edge research, particularly in specialist areas such as neural engineering, cardiovascular disease, gene therapy, and medical technology.
