Become a research environment that promotes research excellence with integrity, transparency, respect and inclusivity
Research in the School of Medicine is organised into three research clusters: Translational Experimental Research, Clinical Medicine, and Public and Population Health. These clusters provide a grouping for research active staff to work within. As a School, we promote collaboration within and across these research clusters to address a range of research themes.
Our Translational Experimental Research is conducted in the Personalised Medicine Centre.
The Clinical Medicine Research Cluster conducts innovative research on new therapies, including trials exploring treatments prevalent diseases.
Our Public and Population Health Research Cluster seeks to develop population level understanding of disease and interventions to address these.
The visual below illustrates how our research clusters—Translational Experimental Research, Clinical Medicine, and Public and Population Health—are interconnected through a series of cross-cutting research themes.
