Research themes

The Institute has around 80 principal investigators, and so is arranged in 4 themes, as follows:

Immunology, Inflammation & Immunotherapy, with a goal to better understand how the immune system contributes to disease, and use that knowledge to develop new therapies.

Regenerative Medicine, Transplantation and Fibrosis, where scientists pioneer cell regeneration for reversal of chronic degenerative conditions. Clinical scope is wide, enabling effective collaboration on regenerative medicine-focused research. This encompasses diabetes, liver disease and degenerative musculoskeletal/pulmonary disorders.

Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism, which includes nutrition and metabolism research as well as high profile groups in sport and exercise science such as the MoveLab.

Stratified Medicine, Therapeutics and Biomarkers, to help clinicians and patients make more informed decisions about courses of treatment and disease management, while improving patient outcomes and safety. This theme also includes medical physics, medical diagnostic devices and medical imaging.
