Health & Wellbeing
Our research in health and wellbeing addresses the medical challenges of the future, driving positive change in healthcare across regions.
Our health-focussed research convenes expertise from digital, engineering, physiological, medical and social policy disciplines to improve the health of the nation and prepare for the challenges of the future.
We have established a professional network of health practitioners, industry, and academia to co-create solutions, improving detection, discovery and diagnosis of disease and enhancing patient care and medical efficiency.
We work with people and communities to ensure that the research priorities and innovations we support are developed in collaboration with people with health conditions or with lived experience of accessing health service support.
Through our Health Innovation Centre, we have developed novel devices with industry and European partners to support the recovery and rehabilitation of patients.
Powering our specialist expertise in disease-specific research is our National Horizons Centre, a £22.3m centre of excellence for the biosciences and healthcare that works with industry partners to discover diseases earlier, develop novel treatments and deliver life-saving medicines quicker, safer and more affordably.
The NHC houses a world class research community, working with the latest cutting-edge technologies and partners to generate real impact.
