Collaborations
Wherever possible, we aim to bring researchers together across disciplines, allowing exciting new connections and developments to be made.
An excellent example of our collaboration is between the Institute of Developmental Sciences and the Somers Cancer Building. Together these buildings house the Centre for DOHaD, the Centre for Human Development, Stem Cells and Regeneration and the Cancer Research UK Centre.
We work closely with University Hospitals Southampton Foundation Trust, which has recently won funding for £17m from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) for a 5 year renewal of the Respiratory Biomedical Research Unit and upgrading of to the Nutrition Biomedical Research Centre which put Southampton at the forefront translational clinical research.
A new five-story Southampton Centre opened in 2011, houses Biomedical Research, incorporates and enlarges the existing clinical facilities of the Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility and includes the two Southampton NIHR Biomedical Research Units, the Trust's shadow Biomedical Research Units, Research and Development department, and associated clinical research groups.
Our current research collaborations are many and varied. They include:
- Cross disciplinary collaborations with other Faculties within the University. Very strong links have been established and examples can be seen on our Research Themes pages
- New and longstanding collaborations with external higher education institutions and other organisations both within the UK and worldwide. These collaborations are key to prosecuting the highest quality research globally. Visit our Research Themes site to see further details
- Commercial collaborations developing therapies and diagnostic technologies for patient benefit. Further information can be found on our Enterprise pages.
