We are now living longer than ever before, but with an ageing population comes challenges. More and more people are living with chronic diseases, and the cost of healthcare is ever rising. In addition, existing treatments are losing their effectiveness, with anti-microbial resistance becoming one of the biggest global threats.

It is only by growing our understanding of biological processes that we can detect diseases better, find new cures and improve quality of life. Yet, medical developments can take decades to make the jump from laboratory to patient.

Our researchers are not only on the forefront of new innovations that promise to deliver new solutions to healthcare challenges, but also play a vital role in providing the underpinning standards and assurance to accelerate their route to market.

Take a look at the research we are doing.
