Overview

Our research encompasses a ‘bench to bedside’ approach with a multidisciplinary interaction between scientists, methodologists and clinicians.

Our Faculty is divided into four Schools. Each School has a Research Director with oversight of the research carried out within the Schools. The Faculty also has a number of cross cutting Faculty Research Themes, which reflect Keele’s research strengths, and is also home to the Keele Institute for Global Health [LINK], the Keele Clinical Trials Unit and the Impact Accelerator Unit.
