Our Commitment to Research

Research Impact

The School drives research excellence and impact, delivering innovative solutions to the specific challenges we have identified in healthcare.

The School has the following aims:

  • Address key global challenges in health care by making scientific breakthroughs in mechanisms of disease, translating these to innovative therapeutics and preventive interventions to improve patient outcomes.
  • Establish lasting relationships with major funders for programmatic research and capacity building. This will include doctoral training, clinical academic programmes and postdoctoral fellowships.
  • Leverage scientific strengths with small and medium size enterprises and large pharmaceutical companies to develop externally funded competitive, collaborative programmes for discovery and translation.

Bringing together clinical and scientific research teams in dedicated high quality research centres. 

The School is recognised for high quality biomedical and translational research and its impact on patient care in Northern Ireland, nationally and internationally, is the foremost strategic priority of the University.

Supported by national and international partners, the University has already invested over £100m in co-locating researchers in different areas of established excellence alongside the education centres for medicine, biomedical science and dentistry on the Health Sciences Campus and Royal Hospital Campus.

We synergise basic science, translational technologies, clinical and population sciences research, providing a critical mass of clinical and scientific investigators working in a cross-school, multidisciplinary manner. 

Research Centres

Together the centres will exploit our state of the art infrastructure to promote enhanced interdisciplinary collaboration and drive competitive programmatic research.
