Scientists within the Translational Sciences theme work in multi-disciplinary teams to identify novel approaches to delay the onset or alleviate the progression of chronic disease. Our research encompasses two main areas: The first, examines how novel technologies can be used to diagnose disease or monitor the progression of disease following treatment. The second examines interventions designed to prevent or delay the onset of disease.
Research areas include the design of novel analogues to slow down the ageing process, bespoke exercise regimes to improve health, interventions designed to alleviate stress in cancer patients, interventions for the prevention of loneliness and social isolation in older people, controlling infection in catheters and developing infection detecting wound dressings.
