Since 2008, we have developed a critical mass of influential researchers with an international reputation in key gastrointestinal and liver related topics.

Our translational programme has grown significantly since its inception; it involved 60 dedicated researchers with over £48.5M in awards (2013-15) and 37 research students.

The Nottingham Molecular Pathology Node (NMPN) (£2.4M:EPSRC/MRC) is a joint venture with Respiratory Medicine; we are currently harnessing its computational and molecular pathology pipelines to transform multiplatform biomarker testing into clinical decision making tools.

We have strong links with the MRC/ARUK Centre (£2M) for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research resulting in internationally leading in in-vivo human, whole body physiological investigations within School of Nutritional Sciences, which underpin the development of new treatments for disorders of gastrointestinal and liver physiology and metabolism.
