Research spotlights

Through our work we are tackling some of the major health challenges of today.

From biomedical discovery research which is revealing the therapies of tomorrow, to clinical research which is trialling new and innovative treatments for patients, and applied health research which is reducing inequalities in access to treatment and care.

Below we shine a light on some of our work and its impact.

How we're doing it

Our mission is to ensure that the research we do improves health, advances knowledge, reduces inequities and builds strong community bonds to respond to local and global challenges. We believe ground-breaking discoveries can only happen in a collaborative and inclusive research environment.

Hull York Medical School was founded on partnership, and a desire to make a real difference to our community. Our unique partnership with the University of Hull and the University of York brings together our experts across a range of disciplines, and offers a collaborative environment which drives discovery and innovation.

And our partnerships with our regional NHS Trusts and community health organisations offer a wide clinical base within with to study the conditions which most affect our communities. By working with patients, we can ensure we improve their health, while developing research that can be applied nationally and globally.
