Biomedical Research Centre

About

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has created eleven Biomedical Research Centres within leading NHS and University partnerships to drive progress on innovation and translational research in biomedicine. By sustaining scientific excellence, the Centres will contribute to the nation's international competitiveness as a major component of our knowledge economy.

The Centres, based within the most outstanding NHS and University partnerships in this country, are leaders in scientific translation. They receive substantial levels of funding to translate fundamental biomedical research into clinical research that benefits patients and they will be early adopters of new insights in technologies, techniques and treatments for improving health.
