Improving health and care through innovative biomedical research
Our research
We conduct translational research bridging the gap between discovery science and definitive evaluation. Our research in our five themes focuses on developing and evaluating new treatments, identifying how diseases are caused and how they progress, developing innovative research methods and analysing large data sets.
Diet and physical activity
Mental health
Respiratory disease
Surgical and orthopaedic innovation
Translational data science
Our projects span early stage studies such as first in human and feasibility studies to developing new research methodologies and tools.
Take a look at all our projects across all our research themes and workstreams.

Our other areas of work
From working with the public to collaborating with innovators, find out about our other work beyond our research themes.
Working with the public
Public involvement is at the heart of all our research. Involving people makes our research more relevant, better designed and with clearer outcomes.
Working with innovators
At NIHR Bristol BRC, we collaborate with a range of health innovation partners, including pharmaceutical companies, life science innovators and charities.
Qualitative research network
The Qualitative Social and Behavioural Research Network was first set up in 2018. Since then it has grown to include members from 13 out of 20 Biomedical Research Centres (BRCs).
