Research 

We are home to one of the world’s largest and most influential translational and clinical research portfolios.

From bench to bedside – delivering world class research to improve patient care

Partnership with University College London (UCL) is key to our research success. By working together we have made advances in medical research that will have a direct impact on patients’ care and quality of life, and will also save many lives.

Our work is divided into research themes, which build on our expertise in areas such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, imaging and neurosciences.

Research is delivered through:

  • The National Institute for Health Research  Biomedical Research Centre (BRC)
  • Our Joint Research Office which provides core management of research, statististical and governance support .
  • UCLH/UCL Clinical Research Facility in the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson wing of UCH provides a dedicated clinical environment for research and specialist trained staff. 
  • The new UCL Partners Clinical Trials Unit is the focal point for collaboration between our research support activities and the clinicians and clinical academics leading the clinical trials and other projects.
