Innovations in healthcare

The development of new knowledge in healthcare is a fundamental part of our work. From testing how vaccines behave under different conditions, to new ways of sharing information and best practiced around the globe we are committed to the advancement of healthcare knowledge through evidence-informed research and teaching. We are constantly striving to innovate, challenge existing thinking and advance understanding in the field of health, all with the purpose of improving patient outcomes.

Research

Our researchers work with local, national and global companies, public sector organisations and hospitals, research institutes and universities to tackle the very latest challenges facing the sector examples include:

  • refining respiratory rate measurement technology
  • improving the manufacturing efficiency for viral vaccines and gene therapies
  • developing artificial intelligence technology for predicting preterm birth
  • developing new sit skis which have been tested by Great Britain's leading Para Nordic athletes.

Well qualified and highly experienced researchers offer and supervise doctoral (PhD) opportunities to drive health care research for the future.
