Research Themes

Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research

The global burden of cancer is increasing with incidence now at 15 million new diagnoses each year. The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research (PGJCCR) is attuned to this global health issue and specialises in integrating academic discovery, industrial/commercial enterprise and innovative health care practice to promote effective delivery of precision cancer medicine, to improve patient health and outcomes, generate wealth and alleviate suffering. PGJCCR has established successful multi-disciplinary teams focusing on cancers of Gastrointestinal, Prostate, Breast and Ovarian origin. Each team incorporates disease-specialist clinicians, accredited molecular pathology expertise bringing affiliated biobank tissue repositories, and academics skilled in the art of (i) biomarker discovery and bioinformatics, (ii) biological investigation and therapeutic development, and (iii) the prosecution of early-phase translation-driven clinical trials. Our significant success has resulted from a strong team-based approach.

Wellcome Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine

The Wellcome Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine (WWIEM) is committed to research excellence by making scientific breakthroughs in the mechanisms of disease, which we translate to innovative therapeutics to improve patient outcomes. We are an international hub of excellence on eye disease, infectious diseases and respiratory disease with a core emphasis on immunology, molecular cell biology and patient-based investigations. WWIEM comprises three main research themes focussed on Immunology and Microbes, Respiratory Medicine, and Vision and Vascular Medicine. Our Immunobiology and Microbes research group focusses on understanding the immune system which is essential for defence of the human body, not only in preventing a wide variety of diseases but also aiding recovery from them. Our Respiratory Medicine research group focusses on understanding the processes that lead to common lung illnesses such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Our Vision and Vascular Medicine research group particularly focusses on inflammation within the cardiovascular system as a frequent cause of cardiac and other vascular diseases which represent a significant health burden on society. Our work makes an important impact in the fight against conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and eye disease.

Centre for Medical Education

Research students joining the Centre for Medical Education will have the opportunity to develop an education project using a range of qualitative and quantitative methods, for which specific training is made available. Research encompasses a range of learning environments and spans the continuum of medical education. Projects are linked by an underlying commitment to improve patient care through education. Current research interests include GP pedagogy, technology-enhanced learning, identity, critical research, and diversity and inclusion. Students are mentored to develop their own research questions and methodologies within the broad remit of the Centre.

Centre for Public Health

The overall mission of the Centre for Public Health (CPH) is to improve health and reduce inequalities, prevent and manage chronic disease and disability more effectively, and to improve the delivery of health and social care. CPH comprises four main research themes focussed on Epidemiology and Public Health, Cancer Epidemiology, Nutrition and Public Health, and Health Services and Global Health. Our Epidemiology and Public Health research group harnesses Big Data in discovery science and its application to clinical and public health practice, to help to understand how both molecular biomarkers and environments (including social norms and networks) shape risk in individuals and populations. Our Cancer Epidemiology research group includes programmes focussed on pre-malignancy molecular epidemiology, gastrointestinal cancer progression and precision medicine, and pharmaco-epidemiology exploring the potential for drug re-purposing. Our Nutrition and Public Health research group works across the life-course to understand the determinants of a healthy diet in individuals, at risk groups (e.g. schoolchildren, pregnant women, older people) and whole populations, and on identifying ways to improve it. Our Health Services and Global Health research group focusses on health care for people with chronic conditions and poor mental health, quality improvement and implementation science, oral health and related cancers, trials methodology, health economics, and global eye health. Our Dentistry and Oral Health Care research has a focus on gerodontology, head and neck cancer, and nutrition.

Research Impact

The School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences drives research excellence and impact, delivering innovative solutions to the specific challenges we have identified in healthcare. The School has three central aims:

• To address key global challenges in health care by making scientific breakthroughs in mechanisms of disease, translating these to innovative therapeutics and preventive interventions to improve patient outcomes.
• To establish lasting relationships with major funders for programmatic research and capacity building. This includes doctoral training, clinical academic programmes and postdoctoral fellowships.
• 소규모, 중규모 기업과 대형 제약 회사와 협력하여 과학적 강점을 활용하여 발견과 전환을 위한 외부 자금 지원 경쟁적 협력 프로그램을 개발합니다.

Assessment

의학, 치과 및 생물의학 대학원의 대학원생은 연구 경력의 기초로서 과학적 글쓰기, 프레젠테이션 및 비판적 분석에 대한 지속적인 교육을 받게 됩니다. 이 학교는 견고한 연간 진도 검토를 통해 대학원 연구생을 지원하고 도전하며, 서면 작업, 심포지 프레젠테이션, 지도 교수 보고서 및 패널 인터뷰에 대한 만족스러운 평가를 요구하며, 이러한 평가의 성공은 우수한 완료율로 입증됩니다. 대학원 연구 교육 기간이 끝나면 학생들은 적절한 길이와 내용의 연구 논문을 제출해야 하며, 이는 외부 및 내부 심사관이 실시하는 구두 시험으로 평가됩니다.

의과대학, 치의학 및 의생명과학부의 대학원 연구생 대다수는 학업을 마친 후에도 계속해서 적절한 취업을 성공적으로 확보하고 있습니다. 선택한 직업은 일반적으로 산업, 학계 및 국립 보건원 내 자격과 관련이 있으며 전 세계의 박사후 연구원, 임상/비임상 학계, 정규 임상 업무 복귀, 의학 저술, 산업 연구, 경영/재무 등을 포함합니다. 컨설팅 및 R&D 소프트웨어 개발. 학교는 연례 대학원 연구 포럼에서 전용 경력 세션을 운영하고 박사 후 연구원의 경력 중심 동료 멘토링을 운영하며 학생들은 개별 대학원 개발 프로그램의 일환으로 감독자와 잠재적 경력에 대해 논의해야 합니다.

과정 후 취업

모든 대학원 연구생은 대학원에서 진로 조언을 받을 수 있으며 박사후 과정 취업 기회는 전용 세션에서 연례 학교 대학원 연구 포럼에서 강조 표시됩니다. 학생들은 또한 개별 대학원 개발 프로그램의 중심 초점으로서 지도교수와 잠재적인 직업에 대해 논의해야 합니다.
