Translational medicine
Translational medicine research moves health discoveries from the lab into clinical practice.
The theme, one of five interdisciplinary areas within the University's Science strategy, builds on existing strengths in clinical and translational research in diabetes and chronic disease, public health, clinical psychology and mood disorders, and exercise and health science.
People
Under the leadership of Professor Stuart Logan, this theme brings together leading academics from Sport and Health Sciences, Psychology and the University of Exeter Medical School.
Peninsula CLAHRC
The theme is closely linked to the Peninsula CLAHRC, the National Institute for Health Research’s Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care in the South West, which aims to improve health outcomes for patients and the public through the conduct and translation of patient-focused applied health research. Researchers within the theme will therefore benefit from the infrastructure provided by the £20 million of funding awarded to the Peninsula CLAHRC.
