About Translational Health Sciences in University of Bristol
Translational Health Sciences is part of the Bristol Medical School. Staff and students are based in high-quality research and clinical settings across the city, including the Bristol Royal Infirmary, Southmead Hospital and the advanced laboratory facilities in the Dorothy Hodgkin Building. The school undertakes laboratory-based, translational and applied research, fostering a high level of collaboration between staff and students. It comprises a mix of basic and medically trained scientists, enabling high-quality collaborative translational and healthcare research using a wide range of techniques - from molecular biology to epidemiology.
Our work focuses on clinical research and a significant part of this has translated to clinical trials that are led by the school. These include ongoing trials related to:
- cardiac surgery
- uveitis
- childhood vaccination and anti-microbial therapy
- treatment of obesity in childhood and adult life
- therapies for diabetic neuropathy
- treatment of early Alzheimer's disease
- neurosurgical approaches to Parkinson's disease
- immunotherapy and bone marrow stem cell therapy in multiple sclerosis
- interventions for treatment of neonatal brain injury
- type 1 diabetes prevention
- improvement of outcomes from joint replacement
- novel methods of glucocorticoid treatment in critical illness and inflammatory disorders
- treatment of nephrotic syndrome
- management of pleural disease.
These studies are complemented by translational clinical studies, engaging both clinical and basic scientists.
Extensive national and international research collaborations contribute to a first-class working environment in which to undertake interdisciplinary research and teaching.
