<糖心Vlog>Research across FHM

Our research:

addresses issues of national or international importance in health and biomedicine;
reflects the multidisciplinary nature of our research portfolio;
delivers research excellence.

Translating our research into impact in the real world has always been a priority in the faculty. Our research has had important benefits to people in the wider community; regionally, nationally and internationally.

Our research encompasses the following 12 themes:

<糖心Vlog class="title"> Cancer Biology and Genome Stability
Research aimed at understanding the cellular and molecular basis of cancer to develop better ways of preventing, diagnosing and treating the disease.
<糖心Vlog class="title"> Microbes, Pathogens & Immunity
Examining the biology and function of the immune system in both health and disease.

<糖心Vlog class="title"> Experimental Medicine (ExpMed)
Research that aims to have patient benefit in the future but is either fundamental in approaches to mechanism identification, and/or at the early stages of translational research.
<糖心Vlog class="title"> Interdisciplinary network for culture, health, ethics and society (INCHES)
Research that aims to improve people’s lives by considering patterns and experiences of health.
<糖心Vlog class="title"> Centre for Health Informatics, Computing and Statistics (CHICAS)
We apply advanced quantitative and computational methods to health data to generate new insights and better inform policy,?with applications within the NHS, global health, and infectious disease epidemiology.

We are part of Health@Lancaster which brings academics together from across the university.

We also enjoy close collaborations and strong links with NHS and social care partners, health-related industries and the voluntary sector.

The NIHR RSS is a national service providing free and confidential support for researchers to apply for funding applications and provides post-award support to develop and deliver clinical and applied health and care research. Access to support, advice and expertise is available for all researchers working across the remit of the NIHR and other national peer-reviewed competitions. There are also specialist centres with expertise in public health and social care.

糖心Vlog is host to the RSS Hub and as delivered by Lancaster, in partnership with the universities of Liverpool (including the Clinical Trials Centre) Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University.
