In Medicine we play a vital role by embedding enterprise in everything we do and our tools, expertise and resources could help your business or project reach its full potential.
We are already generating millions of pounds of research income by translating our innovative research, ideas and technologies into commercial successes and we have created five spin-out companies which are flourishing examples of our enviable business expertise.
Many of our academics are also leading experts in their fields and are at the forefront of key global health issues. They have extensive experience in:
- Establishing strong partnerships with industry around the world
- Sharing their expertise to develop new treatments, provide healthcare advice and shape global health policy
- Providing consultancy, knowledge transfer, commercial expertise, teaching and training services
We are also proud of our world-class facilities that feature cutting-edge equipment and laboratories. Our £9m Institute of Developmental Sciences building provides state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment that are being used by key research organisations such as the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease Division and the Centre for Human Development, Stem Cells and Regeneration.
We also have close links with the Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility, which is at the heart of new developments in the causes and treatments of common diseases such as cancer, asthma, food allergies and heart disease; and the £11m National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) biomedical research units which are run in conjunction with NIHR, Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust and the University.
