The Human
Disease,
Diagnosis
and Treatment
(HDDT)
Collaborative Rese arch
Network
(CRN) is by definition a very broad concept; this CRN therefore
harnesses
relevant expertise and excellence from many Schools across the
University of Birmingham (UoB), including, but not limited to, Medicine,
Biosciences, Sport and Exercise Science, Computer Science, Physics, Law,
Engineering and Psychology. It is also envisaged that many of the other CRNs,
including Genes Cells and Organisms, Human Well-being and Development,
Structural Biology and Imaging, will closely interrelate, enhancing both their
own and HDDT activities.
The HDDT CRN focus
emanates from key areas of international expertise within the host School, the
School of Medicine, but with vital
collaboration and complementary working across the University and beyond; in
academia, industry and the health sector. Established areas of research
expertise and centres of excellence in the CRN include:
-
Cancer
-
Immunity and infection
-
Cardiovascular disease
-
Neurodegenerative Diseases
-
Liver disease
-
Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases
-
Public Health and Epidemiology
-
Primary Care
The research
encompassed by the HDDT CRN has a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary
approaches, combining basic and clinical scientists in state of the art
facilities and stimulating environments, working together to find cures and
treatments
for major diseases.
The environment of the country’s second city with a large
(£5.5M) thriving, ethnically and economically diverse population, coupled with
the relevant excellence and expertise within HDDT place the University in a
pivotal position with regard to innovation in the biomedical sciences field. As
such, UoB has made a long term commitment to clinical and translational
research.
