Multidisciplinary research

Life and Medical Sciences offer multidisciplinary research programmes within the stimulating and supportive environment of the specialist facilities that enable our researchers to address challenging questions of global significance in the core life and medical sciences disciplines.

Our research is conducted within centres of excellence:

and Research Groups or Units:

Life and Medical Sciences is in a privileged position of being in a University which sits in one of the UK's largest pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life science clusters. Our researchers already work in collaboration with European partners, pharmaceutical industry, small business enterprise, biotechnology companies and both the NHS and private healthcare providers.

We have a strong history of translating research into industrial practice in support of wealth creation and lead the Patient Safety Node within the Eastern Academic Health Sciences Network.

Business Support and Consultancy

The Business support and consultancy page showcases Life and Medical Science's wide range of research and services in business support and consultancy.

  • The 91¿´Æ¬ Urbanism Unit was established in late 2018 under the directorship of Associate Professor Susan Parham. The unit is the University’s home for planning and urbanism research.
  • The Smart Mobility Unit was launched in March 2018. The unit builds on projects run at the University such as: Evalu8 (which delivered the Government’s electric vehicle Plugged-in-Places scheme in the East of England), smart bus ticketing and the E-Car Club (the UK’s first entirely electric pay-per-use car club).
