Human Genetics and Genomic Medicine

Our research is centred around understanding the mechanisms of disease, using contemporary techniques and bioinformatics to identify and understand the basis of human disease and translating this for patient benefit.

Part of Medicine

Our scientists apply an array of contemporary techniques across many clinical areas incorporating, rare disease, cancer and more common diseases. We regularly apply ’Omics' technologies to generate vast data and use bioinformatics and different modelling approaches to understand and diagnose human disease.

Centre for Cancer Immunology

The Centre for Cancer Immunology's interdisciplinary research helps scientists and medics to collaborate worldwide. By bringing people together and sharing our expertise, we're working faster than ever before towards a cure for cancer.

Centre for Human Development, Stem Cells and Regeneration

The CHDSCR brings together researchers studying stem cells and development and ways to promote the regeneration of diseased or injured tissues. We aim to provide an environment where excellent scientists can make exciting discoveries for patient benefit.

Clinical Ethics, Law and Society (CELS)

We bring together interdisciplinary expertise to address ethical, legal and psychosocial issues of implementing new technologies.

Big Data in Health Group

Our groups research uses large volumes of complex, heterogeneous, multi-dimensional and often unstructured dataset from different sources. We aim to understand patterns, trends, and associations of diseases to inform preventive action.

BiOmics

Technological advances have allowed scientists to gather large amounts of data about a vast array of species, organisms and single cells. Our researchers are using mathematical modelling, machine learning and other algorithms to extract information and patterns from large data sets to further our understanding of disease.

Digital Health

Our researchers are examining and developing information and communication technologies to help address the health problems and challenges faced by patients.

Microbiology

We work on topics like patient treatment regimens, catheter design and management, and surgical instrument decontamination.

Southampton Clinical Trials Unit (SCTU)

We deliver world-leading clinical trials of innovative new treatments and diagnostic tools. Our trials directly influence routine clinical practice for the benefit of patients.
