Established in 1904, the University of Leeds is one of the largest universities in the UK. We’re part of the Russell Group of research-intensive universities and are renowned globally for the quality of our research and teaching.
As a leading biomedical and health service research campus, our mission is to deliver research excellence that impacts on human health and wealth. We do this not only through the School of Medicine but by harnessing strengths across the University, notably in physical-mathematical sciences, digital expertise, computation, bioengineering and biosciences.
We take a transdisciplinary approach to tackle tomorrow’s major health burdens, bringing together researchers from a breadth of specialisms to tackle three key research themes. In the Detection and treatment theme, we aim to improve early and efficient detection and diagnosis, and more effective treatments. Our Better outcomes theme focuses on improving care and outcomes for patients with cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis and more. Our Coping with chronic conditions theme aims to help those with long-term conditions to live independently.
